Furniture and Product Design - BA (Hons)

This undergraduate degree will train you in traditional and digital workshop practice for designing and making the furniture of the future.

Taught in the well equipped and extensive workshops of our School of Art, Architecture and Design (formerly the London College of Furniture), the course will provide you with every opportunity to explore, aspire and innovate in the field of furniture.

The degree prepares you to enter the design profession in areas including the creative industries, commercial and public sector bodies and self-employment. Our graduates attend major international furniture industry and trade events, and have gone on to work as furniture designers for companies including Kesslers International and McLaren Furniture. Former student Yinka Ilori has successfully set up his own design studio and now exhibits his work all over the world.

You could follow in the footsteps of our students who regularly win international competitions and participate in events such as the London Design Festival and Milan Furniture Fair. Such opportunities provide you with the connections to help launch your own career.

As well as opening up a wide range of occupations within furniture, product and architectural/interior design, you may also work as a buyer, furniture technologist, design journalist or educator in furniture and product design. The course will also prepare you for entry to courses at a master's level.
