Our Design BA (Hons) degree is a multi-disciplinary course focused on the design of products, experiences, and environments.By choosing this course students have the flexibility to engage in a range of activities across industrial design, experience design and environments design, before finally choosing one to specialise in.The Design BA is highly creative and intellectually stimulating, encouraging students to experiment with independent design judgement and creative risk taking. It is a great option for students who are more open-minded about their career trajectory in design and would like to explore the design of products, experiences, and environments before choosing one area to specialise in.We inspire our students to develop a wide range of skills and knowledge while nurturing them to become highly successful and responsible designers. The course aims to develop the next generation of multi-disciplinary designers that can enter the workplace as empathic, creative, responsible, and persuasive facilitators of change.
