3D Design and Craft BA (Hons)

This well-established course is premised on the notion that making is central to creativity and how creativity manifests in society, culture, economy and the environment. You will explore the value of made objects, products and artefacts in the world and the evolving role that making performs in engaging with the contexts of our time. Embracing a diverse approach across the spectrum of three-dimensional creative practice, the course offers you a varied and challenging learning experience that enables you to develop an individual approach to 3D design and craft.
