In addition, you will study contextual aspects of the automotive design process so that you are able to fully appreciate the role of the automotive designer.
Career options can include being an automotive design practitioner in industry or a freelance designer.
The first term will be spent achieving a grounding in the basics of automotive design. Vehicle packaging, automotive modelling, and the business of the automotive industry are all covered in lectures, seminars and studio classes within the first three months. We have an ongoing programme of visiting lectures delivered by senior figures in automotive design, automotive journalism and business.
The second term will involve further skill developments plus a 'live' design project run in conjunction with the automotive industry.
