About this course

BA Design is for creative thinkers who want more than a traditional design course – it’s for people who want to challenge the present and design better futures. You’ll explore big questions about society, business, technology and the planet, tackling real-world problems and deciding on which design approaches work best rather than being limited to one type of design.
