Disciplines

The programme provides students who have already acquired knowledge and skills in various areas of design with an academic framework in which to continue to develop their own professional direction.

We support students in gaining independence, developing their design identity in order to tackle problems with increasingly level of uncertainty and ambiguity as they progress. We take a pluralistic view of the students’ ideas and interests and encourages experimental, groundbreaking work, encouraging a critical approach to address real world problemsUnderpinned by research from world-leading experts, the programme builds briefs, projects and opportunities that will aid you to realise your visions.

You’ll develop your specialisms through tutorials, workshops, lectures, seminars and peer-led opportunities. This is underpinned with principles, tools and techniques, that are relevant to the current or future practice of design, for example: design research methods, systems thinking, advanced ideation techniques, visualisation and prototyping in physical and digital environments and; issues of design for sustainability, the circular economy and commercial viability.

The School of Design has created a unique environment for interdisciplinary design led innovation. It attracts students from a highly diverse set of global disciplines, experience and industries. This provides the opportunity to not only reshape their own design practice, but to reshape the discipline of design itself
