Introduction
The course promotes knowledge of design as a professional pursuit. It comprises two periods, where the first period, (2 weeks), consists of an introduction to methods and theory. The second period, (remaining 4 weeks), involves collaboration between students across all three years of the BA programme. Students will be divided into groups across classes. In this period, theory and methods from the first period are put into practice, as the groups work in response to a real world client brief.

Assessment

Through a group project in collaboration with fellow students in year one and three of the BA programme students are expected to develop proposals for solving real world assignments. Each group is tasked with an individual project from a unique client, all of which will have differing requirements. The group must identify which presentation formats and materials are most appropriate in order to communicate how solutions are to meet client needs. The module concludes with a visual group presentation, invariably supported by physical scale models and/or protypes; digital and/or other solutions. The work must be developed with consideration to client specifications; it must be relevant and contain all of the necessary elements ready for production and/or implementation.Exam results cannot be appealed.
