About this course

The Furniture & Product Design course is based on the idea that knowing how to make something enables a designer to expertly explore functionality and the potential for beauty in material culture.

You will be taught to become a skilled designer, maker and to think carefully about the broader cultural, environmental and commercial context for your practice.

Formerly known as '3D Design', this course has created graduates ready to contribute thoughtful and relevant design work for over 25 years. Alumni of the programme have made an impact in a range of professional settings; designing lighting for companies like Anglepoise, developing complex furniture systems for airports, working alongside world-famous sculptors and in hundreds of other creatively rewarding settings.

You will learn within a vibrant studio and workshop-based community and be taught and assessed via a wide range of exciting design briefs.
