A creative studio culture and thoughtful workshop practice engenders an understanding that however ephemeral a trend or how immaterial a technology or intuitive an interface might be, manufactured ‘things’ play important roles as the props and backdrop to the theatre of everyday life. The course vision is to create the most able graduates – primed to make significant contributions to their chosen field of professional design practice.
