The course will help you to develop your own individual area of practice in which you may ultimately choose to focus on a specific material, such as ceramics, explore in depth processes such as laser cutting, or you may continue with a variety of approaches combining multiple materials and techniques. Through this exploration you will define your own area of specialism and develop an individual career path as designer-maker, artist, in-house designer, gallery owner, curator, or entrepreneur.

We expect our graduates to shape their individual career paths as they enter the ever changing future of interdisciplinary design, with some graduates becoming designer-makers, artists, in-house designers, gallery owners, curators, entrepreneurs, critics and equipped to create new and as yet undefined possibilities. We have strong contacts with both the Crafts Council, Design Council and design professionals working in fields as broad as food design, art direction, product development and small batch production. Our students have been very successful at the graduate design show New Designers and staff/students/alumni have exhibited at the best international design and craft shows including 100% Design, Origin, Tent, Dutch Design Week, Maison-Objet and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.
