You may incur additional costs during your education at the University over and above tuition fees in an academic year such as laptops, stationary and additional resources.
The programme uses practice-based learning, workshops, seminars, lectures, guest speakers and supported on-line learning in which core knowledge and understanding of design are developed and assessed in tandem with their specific application to your own individual projects.
Assessment is through studio modules where practice-based student output is collated as a portfolio presentation.
