The students and staff of the MA Identity Design study programme at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences believe in the inspiring qualities of communities, their own as well as those anywhere on this planet. Moreover, it’s what they focus on. Their course provides a space for the in-depth study and critical discussion of collective identity in its various forms of expression and appearance. Students develop a deeper understanding of identity shaping processes in social, cultural and economic contexts. They are encouraged to combine methods derived from artistic and design practice with techniques from the social sciences to gain new insights into and create tools for identity driven communication.
