Abstract
In the past few years, higher education programs in service design have been steadily growing. Mostly positioned as master’s degrees within varied faculties and departments, these programs propose quite diverse educational offerings. To explore such variety, this short paper presents the preliminary findings of some in-depth interviews with the coordinators of six master’s programs. The interviews discuss key elements of these master’s programs and, more broadly, highlight current and future trajectories for the service design education.

Current and future trajectories for Service Design education: Views from educators in academia
In the past few years, higher education programs in service design have been steadily growing. Mostly positioned as master’s degrees within varied faculties and departments, these programs propose quite diverse educational offerings. To explore such variety, this short paper presents the preliminary findings of some in-depth interviews with the coordinators of six master’s programs. The interviews discuss key elements of these master’s programs and, more broadly, highlight current and future trajectories for the service design education.
