BA in Design

The programme pathways in Design share generic aims and a common structure. This provides a coherent structure for the organisation, delivery and assessment of the programme while allowing each pathway to retain its own specialist practices, methods and competencies.

The School of Design’s undergraduate programme pathways share a common modular structure, providing a framework for the different disciplinary cultures within the School of Design to flourish.

Successive modules allow students to develop their specialist practice, their professional, technical and organisational skills and their knowledge and application of critical contexts.

Delivered by academic staff who are leading practitioners and researchers in their specialist fields, the curriculum is centred on contemporary discourses and practices. It spans a wide array of subject disciplines and engages with a variety of media, technologies, images, artefacts, texts, cultural contexts and professional practices.
