This course is all about design and turning your ideas into products for everyday
use. If you like drawing, sketching and computer design this is for you. Get ready to
manufacture your inventions in wood, plastic, metal and other materials.
What will I study? Co-curricular activities?
During the course you will build
up a range of graphic illustration
skills to be able to create your
own designs as 3D models.
These skills will range from pencil
and rendered sketches through
to using sophisticated software
packages such as SketchUp,
Photoshop, 2D Design, Artisan
and Shaderlight. You will be
trained to use our 3D studio tools
and machinery, from simple hand
tools to use of the laser and 3D
printer. During the course you will
have the freedom to choose your
major design project, which could
be architectural, interior design,
products, sports equipment or
jewellery. Students can use the facilities in the
department outside of timetabled
lessons. This extra studio time
can be used to enhance practical
coursework or to learn more
about our computer-aided design
packages. You will have access to
many trips and visits undertaken by
art and design students, and some
