Course programme

Course Content

Throughout the programme you will share many compulsory design modules, including materials, graphic media and workshop practice with students on the BSc programmes, but the study of mechanics and electronics will be via workshop-based learning rather than pure subject-based lectures.

We emphasise the application of technology throughout all the courses, with integrated project work forming a substantial part of the course at all levels.

  • Graphic Communication
  • Creative Engineering Practice
  • Product Analysis
  • Design Process 1
  • Materials with Manufacturing.

Level 2

  • Systems Design
  • Design Applications
  • Design Process 2
  • Design for Manufacture
  • Design Communication.

Level 3

  • Major Project
  • Innovation Management
  • Contextual Design
Level 3 Options (choose two)

Additional information

Teaching and Assessment Teaching Expert teaching You will be taught by experts in their fields. Many of your lecturers will be internationally and nationally recognised for their innovative work. How will I be taught? Practical design projects We emphasise the application of technology throughout the course, with integrated project work all levels. In the earlier part of the course, design focuses on closely defined and monitored tasks which lead to more open-ended projects in the final year. As the course progresses, students have more opportunity to develop their own individual strengths and portfolios towards the design career of their choice. Workshops Students are guided through a comprehensive workshop practice course as an integral part of their Level 1 studies. This gives you a grounding in production processes and a feel for materials and their potential. Most importantly, you learn the craft skills needed to construct models and prototypes later in your course. Our workshops are a pride to us and our technicians are second to none. Lectures These provide a broad overview of key concepts and ideas relating to your course and give you a framework from which to carry out in-depth study. Tutorials You will have tutorials for all project work, typically in small groups in the early part of the course, through to one-to-one tutorials in the final year. If you go on a placement you will also be allocated an industrial tutor who will help you to set objectives, monitor your progress, and provide further support if you need it. You will also have a personal tutor who is available to discuss both academic and personal problems. Assessment Level 1 does not count towards your final degree mark. Level 2 is worth a third, and Level 3 is worth the rest. The final year project is worth a third of Level 3 marks. Knowledge and understanding are tested by means of a range of assessment tasks, including: written and multiple-choice examinations laboratory reports
