The course requires students to work autonomously on large scale-projects that enable them to situate their unique role within the industry. The department’s PULSE week of visiting industry professionals provides an excellent networking opportunity for students developing their emerging career.
Applicants will normally hold a 1st or 2:1 honours degree in a related subject. Consideration will be given to those who hold a lower classification who can demonstrate they are capable of performing at the level required to complete the course successfully.
