Schwerpunkte / Curriculum - Master in Furniture Design & Technology

The self directed personal project research programme runs parallel to all other curricular activity, and is set in context by a dissertation which is submitted at the beginning of the final semester.

The course is very fortunate to maintain:
• Small group sizes, ensuring high level of staff and student interaction
• Live industrial projects and frequent contact with the world outside the University College
• Excellent programme of guest speakers
• International study visit
• Track record of graduate success
• Freedom from accepted norms, allowing design, craft, industry, materials, philosophical approaches
• Excellent CAD facilities and software
• Friendly studio and workshop environment
• Huge range of workshop facilities • Internet, telephone and facsimile access
• Contacts and materials library
We encourage confidence, originality, individuality, creativity, adaptability, and emphasise the importance of working with others.

Graduates from the course have been fortunate in having taken up a wide range of opportunities and many are found in senior positions with design consultancies or in management positions, freelance work and teaching. A good proportion of our graduates go on to study for higher degrees at both MPhil and PhD level.
