Wearable Futures MA
This course is for designers who are interested in technologies
that have the human body and its covering as their focus. You will
consider the cultural and social role inherent to fashion - focusing
your investigations on the key flashpoints of the body as an
interface for what is a symbiotic, physical and digital exchange.

Careers
Wearable Futures graduates
have the knowledge and skills
needed to be innovative within
different facets of the new
and emerging wearable
tech industry.
The Course
The main conceptual
framework for the course will
be provided by theories of
digital craftsmanship, body-
centric technologies and
phenomenological readings
and speculative philosophy.
These will assist in helping you
to prioritise the current trends
and thoughts relating to fashion,
and discussion around the body
within data-informed spaces.
An interdisciplinary field of
study will include interaction
and UX design and open source
culture, design innovation and
applied philosophy.
You will be introduced to
philosophical trends and these
will tie in with your practice
and help you to develop a
critical view. You will engage
with research methods such as
participatory, user-study and
user-centred design.
We will help you to influence
the decision makers so that
wearable solutions will be
accepted and meet the cultural
and ethical expectations when
designing for the human body
and the garment industry.
