Location of Cardiff University
The course is divided into 6 compulsory modules worth 20 credits which run for 8 weeks each, occupying the two semesters between September and June. The modules are divided between those that have theoretical/knowledge base and those which have a design studio focus. Students studying on the full-time route will undertake both types of module concurrently.
A part-time route allows students to come in for one day per week and receive all necessary tuition, and the modules are arranged to alternate between theoretical and studio work to provide a balance of content and learning experience.
Taught modules are followed by a four-month period of individual study directed towards a 60 credit research dissertation, design guidance research project or design project.
The course will include two induction weeks where students will develop their graphic, presentation and CAD skills, and also participate in a short orientation field trip.
At the start of the final group of modules, students will participate in a European field trip. This will be used as a basis for design work in the module Design Studio: Urban Block and Public Space Design.
Course is run jointly with the Welsh School of Architecture.
Assessment: 100% coursework, including three design studios and a research project.
