Course Code: 2140

Duration : 2 years

Industries such as architecture, construction and design are investing in the sustainable design and re-design of the products, packaging, architecture and habitats in which we live.
The 3D Design course responds to this focus and will teach you how to provide sustainable solutions to current problems which will continue to benefit future generations. These solutions are being ever increasingly demanded by the creative and construction industries. For example, you will work on a wide range of projects such as: the design of disaster dwellings, lighting solutions, interior and architectural design, set design and packaging design.
London is the design centre of the world and you will have opportunities to visit design studios and businesses which focus on cutting edge sustainable design. As you develop on the course
you will work on live briefs set by our industry and community partners, gaining valuable industry experience.
