This course balances creative experimentation and risk-taking with rigorous vocational training. By embedding a 'careers spine' from the second year, students are guided through the practicalities of the professional world.

Industry Liaison Day

A distinctive feature of the final year is the Industry Liaison Day, where students present their portfolios to professional designers from our extensive network. This high-stakes environment mimics real-world interviews, providing students with critical feedback, confidence, and frequently, direct offers for internships. Our active consultation with over 100 design studios ensures that all projects remain industry-relevant and reflect current global design standards.
