We are passionate about making objects and exploring how jewellery and metal design can be applied to other areas and impact peoples’ lives. We also create an awareness of the historical, societal and aesthetic context of designs to encourage excellence.

Our jewellery workshop and cutting-edge digital resources and facilities for both 2D and 3D making are supported by a dedicated team of technical and digital staff. We push the boundaries of jewellery and metal design through innovative use of smart materials and digital processes. You will be able to work with a variety of materials in a playful and experimental way.

One of the advantages of joining a vibrant, diverse research university is that you will be able to collaborate with different departments and courses. We fuse together art, science, fashion, politics, culture and technology.

Our strong studio ethos means that you will be able to share ideas in a supportive environment.
