The course has design at its core. Students will be encouraged
to solve creative problems utilising both traditional design
methods and computer technology that allows for experimentation,
exploration and creativity. You may have a very clear idea of your
progression and direction on starting the course, but you will be
challenged to take risks within the different specialisms of design
and produce work of genuine originality, rather than seek safe and
predictable solutions.

ideas; ideas that have strong historical and contextual

own design brief which will be displayed in an end of year
show.
