Course modules

In the foundation year of the product design programme, you are introduced to the fundamental tools, methods, and techniques of product design in both 2D and 3D forms. The product design course emphasises developing creative confidence through hands-on exploration of materials, media, and design processes. You will cultivate critical thinking, teamwork, and safe workshop practices while beginning to shape your personal design portfolios.

This module introduces you to a set of tools for designing (materials, methods, attitudes and techniques) involved in design generally in both 2 & 3D design, including architectural drawings. It aims to develop your confidence and ability to use a range of methods and media in exploring, developing and presenting your ideas clearly and effectively, as well as an ability to evaluate and rework your output in response to feedback in terms of its technical, craft and aesthetic qualities. Briefs are introduced so that design ideas are explored both individually and in groups. These aim to introduce a suitable work ethic and the practise of design as an iterative process, and to support experiment and trial and error, through short design-orientated projects and exercises that build confidence and competence.

This module works in partnership with the Design Project module (AR3002) in that it prepares you for exploring & practising the potential of selected media, materials, methods and techniques used in the development of your own design work in the Design Project module (AR3002).

The module introduces safe and appropriate workshop practice.

In the Design Project Core Module, you will engage in a variety of projects introducing you to the skills and practices essential in design. Through these projects, you will develop a critical approach to design, which is fundamental for pursuing an architecture degree and cultivating independence in your creative endeavours.

The module will provide you with a broad, varied, stimulating range of design projects that introduce you to the skills, processes and practices involved in making design projects. You will develop a critical, disciplined and productive approach to the act of designing. You will develop independent thinking, making and communicating.

These open-ended interpretive and longer individual projects allow a personal perspective and a sense of direction, reinforcing independence and commitment to generating and developing more self-motivated, innovative, inquiry-based project work within a principal area of specialisation.

Through completing design projects set in this module, you will develop and evolve your portfolio of work in a distinctive way that is evidence of increasing subject specificity and an ability to make an informed choice of progression pathway.

This module introduces you to a broad range of art and design practical disciplines through a series of short workshop activities. It aims to develop your confidence and ability to use a range of methods and materials by synthesising methods and practice across art and design. This module supports the Design Project module (AR3002) in that it prepares you to explore selected media, materials, methods, and techniques used in the development of your own design work. The module introduces safe and appropriate workshop practice.

 In the Design Media module, you will explore various contemporary media techniques relevant to design and artistic practice. This will enrich your architecture portfolio.

You will cultivate creative habits such as recording, documenting, and evaluating. This will help you gain a better understanding of the relationship between context and creative expression.

Through individual and group projects, you'll learn to explain ideas effectively, work well with others, and organise your work to build a comprehensive architecture portfolio.

In the History and Theory module, you will study key aspects of architecture and design as part of your architecture course.

Through looking at selected histories and theories relating to art, culture, and technology, you will gain insight into the evolution of architectural practice.

The module develops skills in observation, research, critical thinking, and communication. These are essential for further academic and theoretical study in higher education.

Developing the key intellectual and practical skills, and the psychological and physical determinants of human performance are increasingly critical for successful graduate-level employment, entrepreneurship and career progression in the 4th industrial revolution.

This module will provide you with the opportunity to identify the skills, competencies and experience required for successful development prior to embarking on your university degree. It also aims to help to inform you about your future direction of study as well as providing useful insights into your potential and abilities. Herein you will begin to recognise the areas for your own personal professional development (including emotional, social, physical, cultural and cognitive intelligences) through taught and workshop activity.

Central to the developmental process will be for you to cultivate the reflective skills, openness and self-awareness to enable you to assess what you are doing, identify areas for improvement, and confidently receive and give constructive feedback. You should also begin to acquire a range of skills in observation, research & reviewing methods, critical thinking, writing and communication.

In the first year of the product design programme, you will be introduced to the foundational principles of product design through practical and theoretical modules. This product design course focuses on developing skills in material exploration, spatial design, technical representation, and critical thinking. You will gain hands-on experience with tools, techniques, and methods essential for crafting innovative design solutions, fostering your creativity and technical proficiency.

This module aims to relate design skills with the use and application of materials in the Term 2 main design project. You should understand the nature and character of various types of materials in common categories such as types of stone, casting material, glass, metalwork and woodwork. The use of workshops will be intrinsic to your learning outcomes. You will also be expected to have a thorough body of research.

Running in parallel with "Design Resolution 1", you should come equipped with a knowledge of your prescribed materiality. You should be prepared to deliver, during the module, a resolved design project that will become both spatially and materially coherent across several scales.

The module enables you to produce imaginative, appropriate and competent design proposals in response to a variety of sites, briefs, and cultural, social and technological issues. Furthermore, it aims to develop a general understanding of the materials, processes and techniques that are applied in the architectural interior, and product design disciplines.

The module aims to develop your confidence and ability to apply a range of communication methods and media to present your design proposals clearly and effectively as well as an ability to evaluate and rework ideas in response to review and feedback.

The module supports the ability of students to see and reflect on how their design proposals are beginning to develop into fully-fledged interior and product design projects, and the kinds of work and thinking involved in taking their ideas further. Therefore, the module familiarises you with design development processes including the analysis and interpretation of a range of project sites and the development of project-specific research. The module demonstrates strategies for producing spatial, material and programmatic ideas that satisfy aesthetic as well as technical requirements and how to present them using a range of appropriate media and methods of communication.

The module aims to introduce you to the skills, processes and practices involved in a spatial design project. It engages you in a range of processes by means of which you can understand, think about and engage with the academic and practical design discipline of architectural design.

The module enables you to develop an understanding of space and materials. It familiarises you with methods for fabricating models, prototypes, 2D and 3D drawings, sketches, diagrams, collages, photographs and mixed media representations, and to practice their use in generating and communicating ideas.

The module supports experiment, trial and error through short projects and exercises that build confidence and competence. It introduces you to the role of representation in design and links with fine art practice as well as an understanding of the materials, processes and techniques that apply specifically to spatial design.

The module aims to prepare you for the task of visualising and communicating their work at all stages of its development and setting their work in relation to the final design project Design Investigation, Design Resolution and Design Integration and the technical demands of the design proposal.

In this regard, drawing ability is a necessary skill for observation, recording, analysis, visualisation, evaluation and communication of different technical aspects of the design project.

This module aims to develop your repertoire of practical, technical and computer-aided skills that can keep pace with your growing knowledge of the design process.

This module will introduce you to architecture and interior design, and how they connect to art, culture, and technology. In your architecture degree, you'll learn about important historical ideas and current practices. You'll learn how to think critically about them.

As you learn more about architecture, you'll think about how new ideas and technologies are changing the field.

This module equips you with the research, analysis, and essay-writing skills you need for advanced academic work. It also encourages you to be independent, and critical, and take ownership of your learning.

Developing the key psychological and physical determinants of human performance is increasingly critical for successful graduate-level employment, entrepreneurship and career progression in the 4th industrial revolution.

This module will provide you with the opportunity to develop skills, competencies and experience required for successful development to, and in, a range of potential future career areas.

Herein you will begin to recognise the areas for your own personal professional development (including emotional, social, physical, cultural and cognitive intelligence) through taught and workshop activities.

Central to the developmental process is for each student to cultivate the reflective skills, openness and self-awareness to enable themselves to assess what they are doing, identify areas for improvement, and confidently receive and give constructive feedback. Students will additionally develop knowledge of strategies to advance their own physical intelligence through 'lifestyle' and 'self-care' approaches to inform their health and well-being.

Having acquired an understanding of the key developmental areas, you will have the opportunity to pitch a small-scale design project to a panel of practitioners and be mentored and supervised by students from higher years. In this position you will learn and begin to apply the cognitive, cultural and social intelligence developed elsewhere in your studies (and from external activities) as required in the workplace, namely cognitive flexibility, emotional resilience, motivation, ethical decision-making, managing your audience, coordinating with others, negotiation, creativity, active listening, attention, problem-solving, research, synthesis and analysis.

In the second year of the product design programme, you will refine your ability to create thoughtful and innovative design solutions, balancing aesthetic, functional, and environmental considerations. This product design course emphasises advanced skills in material integration, environmental strategies, and design processes. You will engage in critical research, collaborative projects, and professional preparation to deepen your understanding of user-centred design and technical execution.

This module helps you develop a creative and efficient way to work on design projects. It will focus on making you aware of occupants and users of buildings and what their needs are.

You'll learn how to design objects and spaces that consider users' physical, social, and psychological needs.

You will explore the key characteristics of design projects with a particular focus on collecting information and analysing data. You will observe people, places, contexts and materials that are appropriate to the project.

This module helps you find your own unique style and way of tackling design problems, which are essential skills for any architecture job.

The aim of this module is to rehearse the production of more complex design projects in preparation for the final project undertaken in the final year. It also opens up the range of opportunities available to a student of architectural design looking to work in an extremely varied discipline, but where individual practices often specialise. The module therefore allows for a degree of choice concerning the design unit and therefore the project type and site.

Running in parallel with Design Integration 2, you are equipped with a brief and during the course of the module deliver a resolved design project that will become both spatially and materially coherent across a number of scales.

The module fosters the development of a personal position and working methods as part of the attributes required by a designer. You will also develop the capability of testing and evaluating the potential impact of your design proposals on the users and the broader environment.

You will be expected to offer articulate explanations of your design proposals, be able to discuss your design considerations, present your case for specific social and environmental strategies and demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between materials, technology and the execution of their design.

The design process continues to be expansive and exploratory and emphasises the creative and imaginative thinking involved. Working within vertical design units, you will also be encouraged to cultivate a shared understanding of your project contexts and their briefs enabling you to work collaboratively, share tasks and review each other's work.

This module will introduce you to architecture and interior design in a way that gets you thinking critically about it.

You will look at architecture's relationship with urbanism and urban space. You will do this by engaging with selected histories and theories and relevant art, culture, technology and contemporary practice.

The history and theory element further prepares you as an independent and critical thinker, capable of producing a sustained piece of study in the form of a written essay.

The module sets out the resources and methods and rehearses the thinking, historical, analytical and discursive skills that will be required in relation to architecture and interior design.

Throughout the module, you are supported to think creatively and to take more responsibility for the development of your own learning and academic and professional direction. At the same time, you will examine broader ethical questions in the practice of design.

This module focuses on the application of knowledge of environmental principles to your design projects, using relevant methods of environmental strategies as part of the design process.

The module aims to encourage the integration of environmental design from the outset of a project, giving you the ability to reflect on appropriate environmental design strategies and explore these in a creative and rigorous manner.

Running in parallel with "Design Resolution 2", you should come equipped with a knowledge of their prescribed materiality and be prepared to deliver, during the course of the module, a resolved design project that will become both spatially and materially coherent across several scales.

This module will provide you with the opportunity to apply several of the skills, competencies and experience required for successful development to, and in, a range of potential future career areas.

You will advance the areas identified in the second year for your own personal professional development (including emotional, social, physical, cultural and cognitive intelligence) through taught and workshop activities.

This module will help you develop:

an understanding of job market forces and influences
required skills to enable you to make successful applications for a job in the architecture sector
effective representation in interviews; and
opportunities to gain work experience in an architectural practice (as a placement) to learn more about how to apply your knowledge and learning in practice.

Through engagement with the Career Passport, you will reflect on the success of the strategies that you employed to further develop your reflective skills, self-awareness, 'lifestyle' and 'self-care' approaches and where necessary improve your approaches.

You will use a design project chosen and set by the academic staff. This may be a competition or a live project. In so doing, you will apply the cognitive, cultural and social intelligence you have learnt elsewhere.

In the third year of the product design programme, you will demonstrate your ability to integrate advanced technical, cultural, and professional knowledge into comprehensive design solutions. This product design course emphasises independent research, critical analysis, and innovative project development. You will learn a lot about product design in year 3 to advance your product design skills, which will benefit your future product design career.

Running in parallel with "Design Resolution 3", you should come equipped with a knowledge of your prescribed materiality and be prepared to deliver, during the course of the module, a resolved design project that will become both spatially and materially coherent across several scales.

The module consolidates skills and knowledge gained at Levels 4 and 5. Together with Design Resolution 3 and Design Integration 3 which requires highly detailed reflection on the integration of cultural, professional, technical and environmental issues within the design project, this set of 3 modules is intended to prepare you for independent practice, entry into the professional architecture or design workplace, or for higher studies.

Whilst improving your practical skills and refining your ability to use them productively, the focus of this module is on developing a depth of knowledge and understanding about research and project development, appropriate to the graduate level. It also aims to help you to offer evidence of self-management in respect of planning, monitoring, recording and evaluation within the architecture portfolio work that is produced.

This module builds on the knowledge gained from the two pre-requisites above. It further explores the role that key environmental variables inform a low energy building design. It helps you to reflect on appropriate environmental design strategies that respond to occupants' needs, design brief, and climate.

This module allows you to explore, identify and evaluate the interrelationships between the various environmental mechanisms and address them in a rigorous manner by developing design strategies that deliver comfortable environments for building users.

The module consolidates skills and knowledge gained at Levels 4 and 5. Together with Design Investigation 3 and Design Integration 3 which require highly detailed reflection on the integration of cultural, professional, technical and environmental issues within the design project, this set of three modules is intended to prepare you for independent practice, entry into the professional workplace, or for higher studies.

Whilst improving your practical skills and refining your ability to use them productively, the focus in this module is on you demonstrating your ability as professional: your capacity to define and analyse spatial and design problems, generate proposals, integrate knowledge derived from different fields and sources, produce socially relevant inhabitable spaces, design technically competent buildings of aesthetic quality, and to take into account issues relating to human comfort and sustainability.

In this module, you are expected to draw on your previous experience as well as the agenda offered by your choice of design unit to formulate and communicate a resolved final design project that frames the specific aspects of architectural design that you are interested in.

The module reiterates and supports the requirement to produce high-quality design proposals that satisfy aesthetic and technical requirements, and for these to be presented using a range of suitably professional and appropriate media. It also aims to help you offer evidence of self-‐management in respect of planning, monitoring, recording and evaluation within the portfolio that is produced.

The module aims to critically engage you in the subject of architecture and interiors with the related art and design technologies and human sciences. This will happen through engaging with selected histories and theories, and by considering these in relation to architecture contemporary practice.

This module provides a platform for ambitious individual work and it calls for graduate levels of achievement in the submission of an essay or dissertation about a subject relating to architecture, interiors, cities or politics. You will receive guidance on critical thinking, the analysis of texts, information retrieval, time management, bibliography, referencing, acknowledgement and the requirements for essay presentation.

Throughout the module, you are required to think creatively and to take responsibility for the development of your own learning and academic and professional direction whilst examining broader questions resident in the practice of design.

This module will provide you with the opportunity to apply the full range of skills, competencies and experience required for successful development to, and in, a range of potential future career areas.

Herein you will advance the areas identified at level 5 for your own personal professional development (including emotional, social, physical, cultural and cognitive intelligences) through taught and workshop activities.

This module will help provide: an overview of professional responsibilities of the profession, the regulations and procedures involved in the approval and construction of designs, the relevant context of the construction industry; and a framework within which you practice the integration of Professional and Technical concerns within a design proposal.
