The Master's Degree program in Industrial Design at Bezalel is a bi-annual program which prepares exceptional designers and creators for leadership roles in the changing world. There are three tracks in the program: Design and innovation, about design and design and technology, in which students are provided with tools, knowledge and a creative educational framework. 

The program is based on the assumption that designers are change agents who develop interdisciplinary connections, look at problems in a creative manner and offer original steps to solving them. To that end, the program creates opportunities to experience practical work in a variety of fields: in high-tech and industry, in the world of curatorship and art, in the world of academia and research, in the third sector and local authorities – as well as in the frame of international collaborations.

The program exposes students to deeper meanings of central processes which currently take place in the world, and enables them to translate processes of innovation and design thinking into a distinct personal language, while integrating in new product development and new services – all in a competitive and dynamic world. During studies, the program develops the ability to integrate into multidisciplinary teams and development process, to integrate systemic vision and to solidify a critical approach. In addition, the students acquire tools for acting in a global environment, for establishing connections with stakeholders and to balance between the different needs. These skills constitute central milestones in the ability of these designers to integrate and succeed in the job market and in the Israeli and global discourse.

The graduates of the program integrate in the forefront of industry and the design fields as product managers in high-tech and start-ups, as UI/UX designers in global companies such as Microsoft, Intel and more, as managers of innovation teams in local authorities and the Air Force, as directors of innovation laboratories at the Weizmann Institute and the ORT chain, as lecturers in design academies, as curators and entrepreneurs.

The program's lecturers are leading designers, artists and curators, marketing people and researchers with extensive knowledge in the fields of strategy management, product management and design, service management, interaction and game management, programming, storytelling, critical thinking, curatorship and writing.

The program has three tracks – which constitute three major fields of knowledge in the field of contemporary design:
Design and Innovation Management,
About Design, and Design and Technology.
