The course develops key themes and ideas in design history and theory, leading students to a largely self-directed final project.

This course aims to: explore the application of the design process within a moral, political, ethical and economic context; explore the network of social and organisational relationships that frame user experience; develop visualisation and process-mapping of complex problems and issues as a means of identifying product, service and experience design opportunities; utilise “design thinking” as a tool for cultural and organisational change; develop a professional standard of project management, resolution and communication to an external audience/client.

This course provides an opportunity to understand the design processes and direct relationship between a specified design subject (including its contextual and theoretical analysis) and the subject specialism.

This course aims to: introduce students to the theoretical positions that informs the writings, methods and approaches of the social sciences; engage with the competing critical perspectives, frameworks and approaches that determine the form taken by research findings; and explore the theories and critical positions of the social sciences as they apply to design practice and criticism.

This course aims to develop and support students’ knowledge, understanding and facility in the use of central critical discourses, concepts and methods relevant to the study of contemporary and historical Fine Art and cultural practices. It is designed to enable and support a period of research into individually-chosen areas of interest within the framework of these recognised discourses and methods.

This course places emphasis on developing critical skills and exhibition practice. The specific aims are to: consolidate the development of practical subject specific skills and working processes; develop your ability to analyse, evaluate and synthesise information and ideas through the making of artworks; enable you to achieve a developed degree of artistic and intellectual independence; enable you to develop a critical awareness of your individual practice in relation to the context of Fine Art; develop your capacity to participate effectively in peer group exhibition and critique; enable you to apply professional skills necessary to making artwork public; and consolidate your professional working practices in the production and presentation of artworks.
