Studio Application

Apply to the Studio

The Studio is a two-year alternative to a traditional masters programme. It gives you direct, sustained access to practitioners working in speculative design, futures, and cultural strategy — 1:1 tutorials, group studio sessions, and full access to every course we offer — without the institutional overhead or the tens of thousands in tuition.

Limited to 10 spots each year. This isn’t a course you sign up for — it’s a commitment we make to each other, so we’re selective. Tell us about your practice and what you want to build, and we’ll review your application with care.
