This MA Design Management will teach you how to understand, manage and oversee the process of design in all aspects of business. Providing you with a huge range of career opportunities.

This course will suit a graduate or professional who wants to excel in design and business.

Throughout this design management master's course you’ll develop essential workplace skills and put your learning into practice. You’ll take part in mini projects, including auditing the user experience of digital services and looking at brand design for a range of organisations.

    Scholarships

    Exetended Scholarship For Sep 2026 Intake 

    Undergraduate Global Excellence Scholarship is £ 3,000

    Weve extended the deadline for our £4,000 Excellence Scholarship until 31st July, giving you more time to take advantage of this opportunity.

    In addition, we’ve launched a new £2,000 Vice-Chancellor’s Global Achievers Award, as we welcome Professor Phillip Wright as Acting Vice-Chancellor.

    This means you now have the opportunity to secure up to £6,000 in guaranteed scholarships.”

    Eligibility & Conditions (Clear + Positive Framing)

    • To be eligible for the £2,000 Vice-Chancellor’s Global Achievers Award, you’ll need to pay your £2,000 tuition fee deposit by 30th June. If you’re eligible for another Southampton-funded scholarship, you could even receive additional funding: 

    For example, Business School students may qualify for: 

    • £9,000 Dean’s Scholarship → plus £2,000 (50% Excellence) + £2,000 VC Award = £13,000 total
    • £5,000 Merit Scholarship → plus £2,000 (50% Excellence) + £2,000 VC Award = £9,000 total

    The good news is that this deposit is not an extra cost—it’s fully deducted from your tuition fees, along with your scholarship.”
    If you need more time to pay the deposit, we may be able, in exceptional circumstances, agree to a late extension, but to guarantee at least £6000, we advise you to make the deposit as soon as possible and by the 30th of June.
