COURSE DETAILS
If you have an interest in architecture, interiors, set, model making, digital and virtual 3D design, then this is the course for you. Guided by experienced industry practitioners, this course will develop the skills and attributes needed to succeed in a wide range of 3D specialisms. The course is ideal for those students who have a practical mind, enjoy making and building things and seeing their ideas develop into working models and prototypes. Students will benefit from exciting opportunities to collaborate with other courses in the School, including a large-scale set design project introducing students to the world of production design. Working in dedicated specialist studios and workshops equipped with an extensive range of industry-standard equipment, students will explore a fascinating range of materials and making processes, including laser-cutting, 3D printing and virtual reality as well as traditional techniques such as white card and colour model making and large scale builds. Students will learn how to create, develop and enhance their designs using traditional techniques and digital software such as Photoshop, SketchUp and Blender. The course offers many opportunities for excellent industrial links and live projects set by architects and designers who will help develop students’ ideas professionally. Students may also benefit from a range of educational visits to gather first-hand research and to experience design in its many forms; these have included trips to Northern Design Festival, Harry Potter World and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park amongst others.
