Master in 3D Design Ma

For MA 3D Design, tuition costs 13,786 USD per year.

At the heart of the MA 3D Design programme is the INSIDE/OUT lecture series, an immersive gateway to the industry that connects you with cutting-edge names in architecture, film, and design, bridging the gap between academic theory and the vibrant creative pulse of the Yorkshire region. This practice-led course is tailored for independent thinkers who want to push the boundaries of contemporary three-dimensional craft, whether your ambition lies in commercial industrial design, designer-maker practice, or design activism.

You will work within the Leeds School of Arts—one of the largest arts communities in the north—utilising a dedicated CAD suite, laser cutters, and 3D printing facilities to bring your research to life. The curriculum is built on an iterative process of 'learning through doing,' where you are encouraged to question, challenge, and refine your design solutions through rigorous modelling. Beyond the classroom, you have the unique opportunity to collaborate with the Retail Institute and the Project Office, allowing you to apply your research to real-world settings and gain human-centric insights into user needs and environmental ethics.
