We aim to provide you with an understanding of design culture and design practice through live projects and potential work placements. You will learn how to create innovative designs, critically reflect on projects and learn skills that reflect your personal interests and career aspirations.

You learn through:

  • lectures and group tutorials
  • live projects
  • work placements
  • creative workshops
  • studio-based project work
  • seminars and peer-to-peer discussions

We have links with commercial partners and local design agencies, and we have an exciting lecture series which is delivered by external practitioners from various design practices within the UK, offering industrial contacts for possible future placements.

You have the opportunity to gain exposure by entering national and international design competitions such as the RSA Student Design Awards.
