The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is dedicated to 3D visualisation and interaction. It does this through academic, research and commercial activities. It is the interaction between these three activities which makes the DDS so different. A multi-disciplinary approach is common to all three.
People from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply to its academic and research programmes. As a Masters student at the DDS, in addition to your own programme of study, you will be able to see leading-edge research underway and in some cases see this research taken forward to commercialisation.
As a researcher, you will be working in an environment which has many multi-disciplinary Masters and PhD students, working on a variety of projects . The common ground is the shared interest in 3D visualisation and interaction.
Much more information about the DDS can be found on The Glasgow School of Art's Research and Postgraduate pages.
The Digital Design Studio seeks to develop creative thinking through a sound understanding of digital visualization technologies. Our postgraduate programmes have something to offer students from a broad range of backgrounds such as Art & Design, Science, Engineering or Business.
