Course General Description
Designers design for people. Food is at the heart of what people need, and it is something that binds us all. It is energy in the broadest sense. Major problems such as far-reaching industrialisation, animal welfare, bee mortality and obesity have given the subject of food an increased urgency. Interest in food is growing fast both within the academy and outside it. There is a need for creative minds that can address the various issues within the subject of food. There is great scope for innovation, for clarification, for exposing and questioning traditions and for a more poetic or artistic approach to food.Requirements

Extracurricular Life and Facts of Interest
The Graduation Show helps define and communicate the school’s agenda and stance on design. Bringing together work by over 180 graduates, the show reveals potential new futures, offers critiques on our current reality and engages with complex ideas about what design is, what it does and what it should do.It is both a celebration of the students and an opportunity for the school and its graduates to engage with the wider world, inviting the design community and members of the public to visit and engage with the work on display.
Due to its scale and the quality and complexity of many of the projects presented, the exhibition rewards multiple visits. Over the decades, it has proven a rich resource for journalists and manufacturers hunting for new talent, as well as trend forecasters and design industry professionals, who view the exhibition as a unique opportunity to engage with new ideas. It is also an opportunity for prospective students to speak to graduates and understand more about DAE’s approach to design education.
