Course Overview

This interdisciplinary, intertextual course enables you to explore the skills you need right across design – you direct your higher-level study in your chosen field, from fashion to industrial design, through your major project. The programme embeds your development through live projects or internships with optional modules in specific design areas.

You learn through initiatives and activities that stimulate and develop creative practice, problem-solving, manufacture and distribution. Thinking and making an observation are applied to practical and social contexts. Your playful and fictional approaches are encouraged through workshops and connections with international events and research projects. A diverse range delivers the course of staff with internationally recognised profiles in research and practice. You take an interdisciplinary approach to creative problem solving by sharing innovative solutions with experienced practitioners across our School – from wearable tech in garments to growing fabrics – pushing the boundaries in design thinking. You consider the many opportunities to create impact through design, learning to mix contemporary practice and thinking to solve real-world problems.
