My name is Stephanie and I am studying a master of design at UTS. I think UTS is a great place to gain your hands on skills within a studio setting. Our tutors or professors always encourage us to question everything, critique everything and don’t believe whatever I said the first time, thinking deeply and if you can convince me, then come to convince me. I think that’s great.
If we look at the history of design, a lot of the solutions are the problems we have now. For example, we designed the car now we have also designed car accidents, we didn’t realise that. So we had to design car insurance to adjust it. But UTS teaches students to have that future thinking mindset, so are not thinking about now but also thinking about the future.
I really like the service design program at UTS, it has not only provided the very advanced research masters in analytical thinking, we also gain hands on skills from the real projects. The social aspect of service design teaching is another thing I really enjoyed because it not only covered the business side but also covered the social side so we got this kind of balance, we are not only making profits for corporations but also what we have designed not matter services or products it must be something good for people, something good for the society.
