The Master of Product Design at OsloMet requires all students to be Health, Security, and Environment (HSE) certified to access the various workshops. This course is mandatory and will be held the week before the start of the fall-semester. For students who have been certified in the Bachelor of Product Design at OsloMet it is not necessary to attend.

The course is held at the Department of Product Design at Kjeller Campus.

The programme emphasises systems theory and methods for understanding a rich picture of data, mapping system dynamics and communication at an advanced level of design praxis in complex contexts. 

The training involves tools for visualising the grand picture, as well as defining strategic leverage points for design interventions in transdisciplinary cooperations. 

On successful completion of this programme, students are able to lead and perform systemic and service design projects for complexity. This complexity relates to the social/political, environmental, economic and technological contexts in which the designer, as well as the product and service that they create, will perform and influence.

Students in the Systemic and Service Design master’s programme will develop the skills needed to create meaningful change in complex environments. 

You will be introduced to and practice a wide range of methods designed to help you understand and influence the complex challenges faced in service and systemic design. These methods focus on understanding holistic situations by examining relationships, patterns, connections and flows, as well as emphasizing inclusivity through participatory processes. 

Graduates pursue careers as service designers, systemic designers, strategic designers, design researchers, sustainability innovators, and systems thinkers in leading companies, public institutions and design consultancies.

If you want to design better services, user experiences, drive sustainable transformation, and create real impact, this programme opens the door to a wide range of future-ready opportunities.
