The established design and making course allows students to create 3D objects and products that shape the world we live in.

Students will be making furniture and lighting, jewelry and ceramics, applied art, sculpture, and much more in specialist wood, metals, ceramics, polymers workshops, using digital technology.

The teaching team consists of practicing designers, makers, artists, and researchers. They encourage a diagnostic and investigative approach, giving students the freedom to find their specialism and graduate with an impressive body of work.

For 50 years, graduates have progressed to life-long creative careers, pioneering new approaches to design. They work for brands such as Habitat, Nike, and IKEA, exhibit at galleries including the Design Museum and MOMA, and have launched companies including Smile Plastics and Gomi.

Hands-on practice is integrated with historical and critical studies, live projects, and case studies, with opportunities to exhibit work.
