Course Summary

The Design BA (Hons) degree is a multi-disciplinary course involving the design and experience of products, service systems, and spaces. By choosing this course students have the flexibility to engage in a range of activities across the specialisms of industrial design, experience design and environments design, before finally choosing a specialist pathway. The Design BA is both highly creative and intellectually stimulating, encouraging students to experiment with independent design judgement and creative risk taking. It is a great option for those who would like to further explore industrial, experience, and environments design before specialising. The course aims to educate designers as responsible, persuasive facilitators of change within their chosen specialisation. We inspire our students to develop a wide range of skills and knowledge while nurturing them to become highly successful and responsible designers. Graduates will enter the workplace as empathic, creative instigators of responses to future design challenges.

Additional Fee Information

The fees stated above are for the 2021/22 academic year; fees for 2022/23 have not yet been confirmed by the UK government. We will update this information as soon as it is available. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures. Tuition fees cover the cost of your teaching, assessment and operating University facilities such as the library, IT equipment and other support services. University fees and charges can be paid in advance and there are several methods of payment, including online payments and payment by instalment. While the cost of your tuition covers lots of things, it doesn’t cover everything. For instance this course doesn’t cover the cost of any stationary, printing, books or re-assessments which you might need. All costs for direct engagement in taught modules are included as part of the tuition fees – this includes materials used in the workshops and safety equipment. From time to time students will need to cover the costs of project work and the creation of design folios. This amount will depend on what materials, manufacturing techniques and other creative choices the student makes. The final mark awarded for all assessed submissions bears no relation to the amount of money spent on the work. Students will not gain any marking advantage merely through the costly development of work.
