3D Design, Materials and Craft

Situated in the heart of Brighton, one of Europe's most vibrant and creative cities, our department fosters excellence in a range of three-dimensional creative practices: design, material culture and sustainability, and material craftsmanship across wood, metals, plastics and ceramics.

Our record in research and practice allows cross-disciplinary collaboration with sustainability and ecology, science and engineering, medicine, digital media, sculpture, fashion and the built environment.

The course BA(Hons)/MDes Design and Craft is a trans-disciplinary course that embraces a comprehensive range of three-dimensional creative practices. Critical articulation of the creative practice, research and innovation is informed by the engagement with contemporary issues such as environmental concerns, social well-being and design values.

Our MA in Sustainable Design is a critical and polemical course that relocates design at the forefront of the search for social, economic and environmental solutions. We also have an excellent record in PhD students, examining a number of areas of design and material practice.
