Abstract
This research examined the impact of the Master’s program ZukunftsDesign on student creativity. The subjective and objective creativity of 42 students were evaluated by means of an online questionnaire and external personality assessment. Findings confirmed the direct link between subjective and objective creativity. The study also revealed promising results for the Master’s program and its students. More in-depth research is required to manifest the identified trends and provide detailed practical and theoretical implications.
