Design BA Hons

Lancaster s distinctive approach to design reflects a department that is at the cutting-edge of the field. The degree is taught by global design experts, and it moves beyond the limited scope of traditional disciplines such as graphic or product design. Instead you will develop the skills to solve complex cultural and social problems by combining design thinking with innovation, technology, business and research. This will equip you for a range of exciting careers in new and emerging industries. The course is structured around four aspects of design: materials, people, products and places. They allow you to develop vital problem-finding and problem-solving abilities. History, theory and intellectual content are combined with creative design practice and design management. You will develop practical skills in prototyping and presentation in the purpose-built design studios and workshop.
