This course is studied by students in the UK and from around the world, and the design issues it tackles are similarly global in nature. It is designed to challenge your thinking, so you can critically evaluate a wide range of information and ideas to use as a basis for your own approaches, methods and design thinking.

Through a dynamic curriculum that blends theoretical frameworks, historical contexts, practical exercises, and case studies, you will develop the skills and acumen needed creatively tackle design challenges. You will also expand your design abilities across a wide range of materials, software, techniques and processes, learning how to choose the best media and approach for each design job.

Finally, you will be encouraged to think about your career path throughout, and demonstrate the skills learned in a portfolio of creative work designed to help you secure your ideal job.

This course is purposefully built to help busy working professionals gain the skills and capabilities needed to develop as designers, with fully online teaching and no need to attend campus.

It offers the flexibility of asynchronous learning on a wide range of digital devices so you can study as you’re able – anywhere and anytime – around important life commitments including work, family and friends.

You can study full-time to fast-track your career progress or take the time you need around your day to day activities with a part-time learning path.

You can also get your studies started within weeks, even if outside the traditional academic year, with six start dates per year.
