CFA The Creative Futures Academy (details here ) provides opportunities for postgraduate students and professionals to undertake focused learning, usually in concentrated or short format courses and often scheduled in ways that allow part time study to be combined flexibly with professional practice. The Professional Certificate in Design for Transformation will be offered to prospective learners in 2024. Design for Transformation The Design for Transformation course seeks to enable learners to explore the capacity of design as a critical and collaborative agent of social, cultural and economic change. The course seeks to position design as a creative forum for exploring a dynamic, changing world full of critical, contradictory and provocative ideas. It asks participants to consider the potential impact of design on a range of contemporary commercial, social and cultural issues. Equal emphasis is placed on critical thinking and critical making. Participants explore speculative, fictional, discursive and impact-led design methodologies, equipping them with the skills required to provoke meaningful change. This course engages in structured, experimental learning through thematic Design Research Labs, which provide a petri dish for problem exploration through radical interpretations of a design studio. Learners examine the role of the designer in the 21stcentury in relation to critical issues, to incubate and grow their own concepts. The course engages a combination of faculty, industry and external stakeholders in the delivery of projects that aim to test understanding of a preferable future. The Delivery The CFA is looking for applications to deliver the content of the Professional Certificate in Design for Transformation. The Delivery is broken down into the following elements: Curriculum design - the preparation of teaching materials.

Each module may include one or two high profile guest speakers but we expect that the majority of the content to be taught and coordinated by a lead tutor or team of tutors.
