The Critical Inquiry Lab
Master

The Critical Inquiry Lab department (CIL) is a two-year Master’s programme that provides students with an environment to develop a self-directed design practice driven by transdisciplinary research.
The department is rooted in socio-cultural as well as technological analysis coupled with design practice, theory, and its history. We question the role of design in relation to the structures, systems and relations that compose our contemporary societies, aiming to navigate these waters with sharp criticality and hands-on experimentation. In committing to transiting across discourses, we aim to suspend the paradigm of ‘being right’, in order to discover the curiously unexpected while encouraging creative risk-taking within the department and beyond. Driven by an ethos of care, The Critical Inquiry Lab positions design as a vehicle for transformation and public engagement, asking how designers can participate in the making of more equitable and flourishing worlds.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study. Its aim is to facilitate the recognition of study periods undertaken by mobile students through the transfer of credits. The ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits are equivalent to the workload of full-time student during one academic year.
