BA (Hons) DESIGN INTERACTIONS
Studying on BA (Hons) Design Interactions, you will be at the forefront of future-focused design. You will experiment and develop emerging technology such as AR/VR (XR), AI, game engines, electronics, sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), 'Big Data' and robotics. You will play a role in shaping the world around us with free thinking ideas and opportunities.
Studying on Design Interactions (with Foundation Year) is a great way to introduce yourself to the university experience should you not have either an art and design background or enough UCAS points.
Your first year is the foundation year which will bring you up to speed and introduce you to all the areas in art and design. Alumni often remember the foundation year with the fondest memories. You get to learn a great deal in a fun environment. You get to learn alongside fine art, photography, design and illustration students. So if you're not 100 per cent sure about your direction or can't choose between subjects (maybe you enjoy more than one) you can use it as a diagnostic year to help you choose. One of the major benefits of all our foundation courses is you are free to switch direction should you change your mind.
As progress into the main subject in year two, you will join students who will be at the forefront of future-focused design. You will experiment and develop emerging technology such as AR/VR (XR), AI, game engines, electronics, sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and robotics. You will play a role in shaping the world around us with free-thinking ideas and opportunities.
Interdisciplinary collaboration with students from e.g. Fine Art Technology, Graphic Design, Illustration, Animation and Photography allows you to exchange skills and to access technical support and subject expertise across disciplines.
You will be supported by the yearly employability initiative Detour Ahead: Roadmaps for the Art and Design Industry, week-long inter-disciplinary guest talks offering you industry insights as well as guidance on subjects such as freelancing, copyright and tax.
