The course lasts four semesters and provides students with the practical, theoretical and technological tools for the development of projects that raise questions and offer answers to diverse issues and have a dimension of design, conceptual, social, environmental and technological innovation. The curriculum combines studio work, participation in a weekly departmental forum that discusses design in the 21st century, theoretical classes, artist workshops and writing workshops, along with the possibility of leading independent design research under the guidance of various research centers in Shenkar.

Classes are held on Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays and Fridays to allow working students to combine a job in industry, or studio work, with the graduate studies, as well as engaging time with fellow designers and engineers studying on the program. The program allows a whole set of elective courses, offering collaborative work with different thinking patterns, diverse content and project-based engagement.
