This programme encourages students to take a risk, to test the boundaries of the discipline and push their design ideas beyond personally predetermined limits. There is a strong international student input which introduces diverse experience and encourages wide-ranging thinking. You will develop an enhanced research and design proposal, culminating in a new body of work that will showcase your heightened development and achievements. This unique and convention-breaking programme has a strong emphasis on personal creative freedom and design innovation, ensuring you have the best chance of employment and career development upon graduation. You will be encouraged to challenge your existing research and design knowledge and develop new skills and networks. You are expected to experiment and explore – independent study is paramount but underpinned by a number of supporting projects, workshops and events.
