Aims of the Programme: The programme is intended to: 1. to answer the needs of industry by training multi skilled designers with skills transferable across the industry in response to the rapid change in technology and communications. 2. to provide an academic framework that stimulates debate, the identification of interests, intentions and ideas that encourages innovation and the questioning of received habits, codes and conventions of thought, production and meaning. 3. to encourage students to put their work into context and identify personal creative directions and interests. 4. to provide students with an opportunity to become active, reflective and self critical learners with a sound understanding of the relationship between theoretical frameworks and the active empirical methods of enquiry which inform the development, interpretation and re-evaluation of theory. 5. to promote informed awareness of the cultural, social, historical and contemporary contexts of the subjects studied 6. to prepare students for personal development, further study, professional practice and employability. Academic Partnerships Student Handbook 2012-13

Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (LO): By the end of this programme the student will be able to: 1. utilise a range of materials, processes and techniques and skills appropriate to their chosen field. 2. present, evaluate and interpret information, develop lines of argument and make sound judgements 3. develop realistic aims, ideas and goals and be self motivated 4. demonstrate a critical, analytical and creative response to problem solving 5. demonstrate an informed awareness of the cultural, social, historical and contemporary contexts of the subject studied. 6. apply the qualities and transferable skills necessary for personal development, further study and employment

Brief Description of the Programme This programme aims to develop the necessary skills for you to take advantage of opportunities within the Three Dimensional Design industry and to prepare you for further study, professional practice and employment. Fields of study include interior design; spatial design; furniture design; ceramics; jewellery and silversmithing; textiles and fashion; fashion accessories; applied arts; product design and mixed media approaches. At the end of the programme you will be able to apply new and transferable skills appropriate to your chosen field within Three Dimensional Design and the wider cultural and creative sector. Students have gone on to work as freelance designers and designer makers within interior design, architectural design, the crafts, theatre and film, arts administration, community arts and teaching. In the first year you will be encouraged to explore a breadth of three dimensional design processes. After initial introduction to three dimensional materials and processes you will be asked to confirm your chosen specialism in either â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Each specialism will focus upon subject specific approaches to design with the flexibility of optional modules that bridge disciplines. You will have selected a specialism on application. The introductory module will act to confirm your decisions. Modules will also support broader conceptual approaches to solving design problems through analysis of theoretical issues and experimentation, coupled with an integration of processes. The first year also provides a professional development module supporting transferable and vocational skills and the ability to reflect on your own learning. Modules in the second year will be tailored to allow individual creative development through negotiated projects supported by critical and contextual research that underpins your practice. This will culminate in a final major project and supporting dissertation. The second year will also include a professional practice module that develops your awareness of business practice and employment, and equips you with the necessary skills to function effectively within the business community and the workplace. The work based learning module will be delivered over the duration of the programme and provide the opportunity for you to engage with the creative industries through a combination of live projects, placements, simulated environments national competitions and exhibitions.

An individual approach to working methods and processes will be encouraged. Staff will act to confirm rather than direct student decisions. Students will be expected to manage the whole of their project from initiation through to completion. The presentation and display of work produced is an integral part of this module.

Summary of Module Content After researching aspects of function and ergonomics from manufactured objects, the students will develop their own objects which reflect these considerations. Assignments will encourage a nonpolarised view of the creative process in which any one determinant can be seen to override another. The relationship between aesthetics and function will provide the stimulus for practical enquiry.
