The course aims to balance the taught course elements with an environment that encourages you to achieve your own ambitions. It emphasises the development of a self-motivating, evaluative orientation. The programme aims to produce creative, informed people who have a strong sense of personal commitment and are highly motivated to succeed. The course emphasises the development of the individual in the context of contemporary issues in design, commerce and society.
All pathway students work in a multi-disciplinary dedicated studio.
The global dimensions of the course are very important and there are graduates from many different countries studying interactively. There are direct links with the Pearl Academy in New Delhi, which has a postgraduate programme validated by Nottingham Trent linked to the MA here, and also with the Fu-Jen University in Taipei, Taiwan. We also have links with Nottingham Trent's design courses to extend study possibilities. The nature of this evidence will vary but will include some visual reference and a good design thesis in writing. Preference will be given to good Honours graduates, though exceptional applicants from a non-academic background will also be considered.
