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. Our lecturing team provide a unique resource of cross-disciplinary expertise: we have mechanical and electrical engineers, computer and materials scientists, mathematicians, psychologists, human factors specialists, practising designers and graphic communication experts on hand to support your studies. This distinguishes us from most design and engineering departments in UK universities. 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 or Project. Group projects are used in various...
