Floristry Design (Top Up)
University Centre Bishop BurtonAbout this course
The programme provides you with a balanced approach to design theory, research, practical application, analysis and evaluation in floristry, to further enhance your employability and career development within the floristry industry.
The programme will introduce relevant live projects, commercial and client-focused activity through a final exhibition of students' work and a design installation. These will encourage you to explore and experiment with design techniques and materials outside the context in which you first studied, proposing new and exciting ways to approach floristry design.
It is intended that this approach will allow you to follow your own creative direction whilst under the supervision of dedicated specialist tutors. The content is specifically intended to meet the exacting and demanding requirements of the floristry event industry and to deliver the highest levels of design innovation and enterprise demanded.

Learning and Teaching Approach This programme is delivered with a variety of learning and teaching approaches to include all students learning styles and preferences.
For all modules, theory lectures will deliver the core content and provide the underpinning knowledge. To complement the theory lectures, students will have practical demonstration sessions that are used to reinforce concepts delivered theoretically.
Study at this level demonstrates increasing sophistication of design thinking and critical analysis within the design process. There is an expectation for considerable self–direction and independence particularly within the Creative Research Project and Final Exhibition.

Students can expect to receive their timetables during induction week.
What kind of job could I get when I graduate?
