Design Projects: Investigate, Imagine & Intervene
This studio module introduces Environmental and Spatial Design as a critical, responsive, and creative practice. Working across physical, interior, and spatial contexts, students engage with urgent real-world challenges through a structured sequence of design projects.
Emphasis is placed on research-informed investigation, creative problem-solving, and the development of a sustainable design mindset. Students work both collaboratively and independently, building fluency in visual communication, critical analysis, and reflective practice.
The module establishes the intellectual and creative foundations for postgraduate study in Environmental and Spatial Design, positioning design as a discipline capable of meaningful response to complex social, environmental, and spatial challenges. -

Design Research and Impact Methods
This module equips you with core design research and evaluations tools. You will explore a range of design-research methods—visual, spatial, participatory, and digital—and learn how to frame research questions, apply research ethics, justify your approach, and assess the potential impacts of your work. You will develop a research question and plan to implement in the final project. -

Design Skills and Practices
In this module, you will further develop your practical design skills and engage with design methods, techniques, and processes. Alongside fundamental technical knowledge, drawing, and applications, the module introduces ergonomics and user-centred design. You will undertake observation, investigation, and creative problem-solving, testing ideas through 2D and 3D physical and digital models.
The module provides foundational knowledge and its application across key technical aspects of product design, including basic scientific and engineering principles, as well as materials and manufacturing considerations. You will have opportunities to further explore the functional dimensions of design.
Communication and presentation skills are reinforced, alongside strategies for managing projects. You continue to develop your ability to use physical and digital tools and software.
Studio-based learning, technical workshops, and laboratory visits support the learning experience.
