Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Throughout the programme, the studio work is driven by the student’s interests and evolves through reading, reflective writing, presentations, class discussions, and critiques with faculty and peers.

In the first year, each student chooses two university elective courses outside of Art & Design.

These electives enable designers to engage more deeply with potential topics in the sciences, social sciences and humanities, serving as springboards for their creative work.

In the second year, design courses address the development, production, display, and publication of the student’s thesis work.
