Highlights

Learn from a team of inspiring artists and designers

Teaching on a programme like this consists largely of project based work supported by appropriate 'skills' based workshops.

Students tackle a huge variety of briefs ranging in complexity and time scales. Some projects will take many weeks to complete whilst others will be solved within a matter of hours.

There's also a huge variety to the pattern of learning experiences with some projects being team based and others are worked on individually.

Tutorials and seminars include one-on-one, small groups and medium sized groups for workshops and lectures.

Active participation is expected at our lively and fun end of project crits where students are asked to explain and defend their work with keen interaction from their colleagues.

Work placements and careers

Work placements are actively encouraged and students apply for placements as well as full-time employment. Course tutors have numerous high-profile links with industry and students find placements within a range of businesses and agencies in and around our dynamic local region.
