Connecting students to people who use creativity as a central part of their work has helped the course to help young people understand why and how design thinking matters. Thinking creative, thinking design is what it is all about today.
It’s really the root of innovation. And businesses want the kind of professionals who can think innovatively whether they’re managers or designers. This programme is really about instilling this understanding of how innovation works, at a early stage in their development as young adults.
One of the key advantages of the programme is also discovering what you are passionate about. Your pathways could change; you will discover many opportunities to enhance your skills, what your strengths are, and most importantly, where your heart lies. This is important.
A designer needs passion, and you will discover how to ignite it when you meet senior students and lecturers, see past and ongoing projects, and learn more about the course.
