Master of Design Scheme Design Practices Design Strategies Interaction Design International Design and Business Management Urban Environments Design Entrance Requirements A common recruitment and intake procedure will be conducted to provide a means to better advise students about the appropriateness of particular specialisms to their personal and career development. Individual specialisms will, however, continue to undertake specialism-specific interviews and will apply some specialismspecific requirements (see below). Applicants are required to indicate their choice of specialism upon application.

Applicants will also normally be required to demonstrate oral competency in English by means of an interview.
