Design

Through a mixture of theory and practice, you will develop your design skills and knowledge. You will explore and debate design issues, experience the workplace, reflect on work organisations and carry out creative design projects. As a student you can focus on the contexts, issues and design outcomes that interest you and which will be of benefit to you personally.

You will study eight modules including: Professional Contexts, Design Issues and Contexts, Work Based Learning, Research Methods, Reflective Practice, an elective and design project modules. Assessment is through a range of coursework activities related to each module.

The electives offer the opportunity to draw on expertise from the wider University. In Semester 2 there are options for distance learning to support students whose work make it difficult to attend.

Teaching/Learning
