Critical Issues in Product Design
This module in Semester 2 enables you to critically examine contemporary debates, challenges, and contextual issues shaping product design today. You will explore sustainable practices and ecological responsibility, including circular design strategies, materials literacy, and the environmental impact of production systems. Alongside this, the module interrogates ethical design practices, issues of equity, accessibility and inclusion, and the designer’s role within wider social and global contexts.
Throughout the module, you will develop the ability to analyse design through cultural, ethical, and environmental lenses, building a deeper understanding of how design both shapes and is shaped by society. Through lectures, case studies, discussions, and reflective tasks, you will evaluate how design can contribute to positive social and environmental change. The module prepares you for informed, responsible, and critically engaged design practice, equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to address real-world challenges through creative solutions. -

Critical Media Practice
This module will introduce you to resonant examples of critical media practices, enabling you to combine in critical ways the theory and practice of digital media. Through practice workshops with staff and invited practitioners, exploring key examples from digital, alternative and experimental media, you will be encouraged to produce work that is analytical and critical. You will learn to understand the creative practices, technical skills and conceptual frameworks required to produce critical media projects in different media (ranging from video and photography to web and digital environment), combined with awareness of how contemporary media production, participation and consumption are shaped by their historical, technological and everyday contexts. -

Critical Theory
Through a series of lectures delivered by staff from across the department, and invited guests, this module introduces students to some of the key areas of contemporary theoretical discourse that influence cultural and creative practice. This module aims to broaden the students’ theoretical horizons and inform their artistic practices. The module is intentionally designed to bridge the historical art theory emphasis of much undergraduate education and the higher theoretical demands now placed on artists pursuing doctoral research.
For assessment, students are required to propose, research and write a short essay on a theoretical area of their choice, that relates to their studio practice. The module thereby provides an opportunity to locate themselves within this theoretical discourse, and to begin to articulate their own critical voice in relation to major contemporary arguments in critical theory. This academic writing task is important in preparing students both for further study at doctoral level and for the proposal writing aspects of professional practice beyond the institution.
