Department of Design & Technology

Studio-led teaching that brings visual, interactive and product design into real projects.

Students discuss an interior design model

01 / Teaching and spaces

Teaching focus

Each semester is built around a design brief: from user research, sketches and prototypes to a presentation for tutors and industry guests. Students learn not only the tools but how to explain their design decisions.

Learning spaces

Digital studios, a photography room, a model workshop, 3D printing and laser cutting, open under tutor supervision.

From sketch to prototype

In the model workshop, students test materials and proportions until an idea becomes something the group can discuss.
