In Year 3, you will be guided to direct your own learning and define your own theoretical position. You will evolve a personal design project supported by our unique ‘atelier’ system. You project will be underpinned by the application of history and theory into your Design 5 and Design 6 studio Modules.
You will have more autonomy in Year 3 and therefore have more authority over your own work, which will give you confidence and assuredness as you prepare for the professional environment. We prepare you for practice in industry through employability sessions and events, culminating with the end of year show.
