Overview

Furniture and Product Design is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Design Studies runs regular critique sessions where you present and defend your work in front of the group. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17,950 to £21,500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.

Careers opportunities

Hiring in this field is decided on a portfolio rather than on a transcript, and the degree's job is to build one. A large share of graduates work freelance or on contract for the first few years, often alongside a studio job.

After the course

There is no register to join. What replaces it is a body of work, and most graduates spend the first two years building it in paid assisting roles.
