Course Overview
An optional 40-week industry work placement is available on this course.
Awareness, understanding and integration of sustainable development issues within the design process are the underlying issues of this course.
Meeting the needs of the present generation, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is the challenge for designers.
Sustainable development addresses issues that include economic growth and employment, social progress for all, protection of the environment and prudent use of natural resources. This is a complex and multidisciplinary subject, therefore advanced techniques are embraced to facilitate and communicate relevant case studies throughout the units.
The School of Design , Engineering and Computing is active in research and enterprise and has a well established base in Sustainable Design and Design Simulation. All members of the teaching team are members of either The Sustainable Design Research Centre or Design Simulation Research Centre and accordingly are active in research and publication within these fields or in associated enterprise.
Throughout this course units are taught intensively, usually over 4.5 days, with assessment normally taking place 5-6 weeks after the delivery of the unit.
