Students undertake a series of assignments to develop an area of interst or particular direction they may wish their careers to follow. Social, cultural, environmental and economic issues are integrated into the programme to encourage a comprehensive and more holistic approach to design. The programme follows four core modules that underpin and provide a foundation for the major project. A series of lectures, seminars, and tutorials are scheduled to enable opportunities to develop both specific product design skills along side a more generic creative awareness. Workshops are available everyday where students are encouraged to develop, refine and make artefacts to demonstrate their assignment outputs.
