Course Overview

What you'll study?

With a strong studio-based culture, our MA Design course considers the relationship between traditional craft skills, new technology, and modern manufacture, and encourages collaborative working and hands-on experience. You’ll be given the tools to understand the market, social needs, and end-users, developing into an advanced and aware designer, specializing in existing or emerging areas of product design.

Underpinned by a focus on your own specialism, you’ll explore the multidisciplinary field of design, challenge the norms in design thinking and engage with the realities of designing for new and emerging markets.

You'll analyze the relationship between traditional craft skills, new technology, and modern manufacture, with ideas and approaches informed by collaborative working and hands-on experience. Through contemporary research and industry-applied projects and briefs, you’ll consider materials and manufacturing, and a broad range of strategies and approaches to help explore and understand markets, social needs and end users.
