Intelligent Mobility MA

Intelligent Mobility builds on the rich history of vehicle design at the RCA, placing this within the context of emerging social, cultural and technical changes. These include the shift to autonomous systems, renewable power, demographic changes and the increasing synthesis between man and machine. The programme defines and describes a paradigm shift that combines existing fields with a design-led approach that addresses both physical and virtual aspects of the mobility space as an integrated whole.

We equip you to deliver critical solutions to holistic mobility needs and issues. Our core approach is translating techno-cultural challenges via intense creativity and research – building mature design and innovation propositions to meet new mobility opportunities. You will work closely with mobility design practitioners, thought leaders and leading brands to ensure you have a thorough understanding of the industrial practice and the opportunity to engage and influence critical questions relating to business, production and new ownership and use models.

Our commercial, connected approach creates leaders within the ‘third age’ of automotive and mobility design and the broad spectrum of mobility services and artefacts.

Take your place among a new generation of designers. Develop the skill set and mindset to operate as a strategic leader with a broad range of abilities and insight about your own ‘point-of-impact’ on an increasingly diverse industry.

Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall. You’ll have completed or be in the final year of a first degree in an art and design (or related) subject. Alongside this, you’ll need proven commitment to the discipline, with a high level of self-motivation and evidence of independent study. You should possess a high standard of illustrative skills and an understanding of 3D form.
