What will I learn in the third year ? Your third year is at Level 6 (Consolidation and Expertise) The emphasis is on building your expertise and professional understanding as you work more independently towards your chosen career. On successful completion of Level 6 you’ll have gained another 120 credits by passing the modules listed on this page. You’ll then have the 360 credits required for an honours degree. Design for External Evaluation 20 credits This module is based on project work which responds to competition briefs, both national and international. It develops the skills required to produce unambiguous, informative and visually compelling work for a range of external situations, where the designer may not be available to help explain the solution verbally. Writing Design 20 credits Here you’ll carry out extended independent research on a topic of personal interest within the field of product design. The aim is to promote in-depth understanding through research and critical analysis. You’ll present your findings in a negotiated final format, such as a long essay (dissertation) or pieces of journalism. Final Project: Product Design 60 credits Here you’ll design and prototype a product suitable for manufacture which is underpinned by a sound understanding of the user, business and technical issues that relate to it. The choice of project and associated brief comes from you, with advice from staff, so as to be pertinent to your interests and/or career aspirations. The realisation of the project is through physical and digital models, associated visual material and a technical report. Professional Skills 20 credits This module seeks to develop your knowledge and understanding of the changing role of designers and the ways they work. It encourages you to reflect on your personal development and career aspirations and you’ll produce a range of self-promotional material to aid you in gaining employment. Part time students If you are enrolled as a part-time student you can undertake up to 100 credits in any one academic year over a maximum of six years.
