Overview
We list Design Management BA because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Design Management runs on critique sessions, so you present and defend your work regularly. We currently work with 25 universities on this course across 18 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £18.000 to £37.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
