COURSE DETAILS
Working in dedicated specialist studios and workshops equipped with an extensive range of industry standard equipment, you will explore a fascinating range of materials and making processes, including laser cutting and 3D printing as well as more traditional techniques. You will learn how to create, develop and enhance your designs using traditional techniques and digital design tools like Photoshop and 3D StudioMax. Typically, the course offers many opportunities for excellent industrial links and ‘live projects’ set by architects and designers who will help develop your ideas professionally. You may also benefit from a range of educational visits to places such as 'Museum of the Home' to gather first hand research and experience design in its many forms. In the past there have been trips to Northern Design Festival, Harry Potter World and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park amongst others. The course is ideal for those students who have a practical mind and really enjoy making and building things and seeing their ideas develop into working models and prototypes.
