This theory-based module introduces you to key concepts, debates, and case studies surrounding creativity and the creative process, forming a foundation for a reflective and informed creative practice. By engaging with these ideas, you can gain insights that enhance and support your hands-on studio work across your program. This module aims to deepen understanding, encouraging you to think critically about creativity while connecting theory to practice in meaningful, impactful ways.
This module aims to provide an introduction to design methodologies and the influential contexts associated to the process of design. Emphasis is to be placed upon developing an understanding of analysis and synthesis as a fundamental element of design development. The module also encourages a diverse approach to idea generation and provides the opportunity to understand the intrinsic qualities of materials, visual language, and the necessity of realising transient proposals effectively and efficiently.
This module introduces the principles of using physical and screen based applications within the design process and developing an awareness of the properties of materials and objects. Initial emphasis is directed towards appreciating the interaction of 2D and 3D applications for effective and efficient communications. The contextual aspects and an awareness of applications in associated disciplines are promoted.
In the later stages the module addresses the application of 3D design within the development process and explores various attributes adopted for the generation of convincing 3D models and materials.
This module aims to provide the opportunity to develop a range of drawing skills for different applications within design. Students can explore methods of mark-making, shading, rendering, and developmental sketching. The module also introduces digital forms of 2D image generation.
This module focuses on encouraging students to develop a responsible approach to product development, and creates an awareness of sustainability in design. Students have the opportunity to explore and challenge issues surrounding social vanity, interaction and exclusivity, in addition to understanding the need of developing markets and appreciating strains on natural resources. The module aims to promote an understanding and relevance of soul references in culture and developing an appreciation that changes in society can influence the range of creative responses available.
This module explores emotional design as a concept-driven and materially grounded design practice, focusing on how three-dimensional objects can shape experience, perception, and meaning beyond function alone. Students investigate how emotional intent can operate as the starting point for design, using form, material, scale, proportion, and detail to explore how objects are encountered, interpreted, and valued. Emphasis is placed on making as a mode of enquiry, where physical experimentation and iteration are used to develop and test ideas rather than simply execute predetermined solutions. Through studio-based projects, students develop tight but exploratory three-dimensional outcomes that combine emotional presence and experiential clarity with function. The module encourages designers to engage critically with ambiguity, constraint, and resolution, ensuring that emotional intent is carried by the object itself rather than reliant on explanation.
The "Interdisciplinary Collaboration" module offers an exciting and dynamic learning experience for students in graphic design, creative advertising, illustration, and product design. Each year, the module's projects are tailored to reflect the latest trends and needs in the design industry, ensuring that students gain relevant and cutting-edge skills. With a focus on user experience design, AI in design, influencing and content creation, virtual reality, and design for social change, students will work on projects that challenge their creativity and technical abilities. This module is ideal for those looking to stay ahead in the fast-paced world of design and make a meaningful impact through their work. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for students to shape their own degree, offering pathways for further elective specialisms in Level 3. Students will also have the chance to learn and utilise new industry tools and technologies, and work in new groups outside of their existing course, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration that reflects the current design industry.
This module focuses on the design and resolution of user experiences, where ideas are developed into clear, usable, and communicable outcomes. Students learn how experiences are structured, refined, and finessed so they can be understood and engaged with by others. Emphasis is placed on defining users, contexts, and requirements, and on organising interactions into coherent journeys across physical and digital touchpoints. Students explore how clarity, feedback, sequencing, and flow influence user understanding and confidence. The module develops professional approaches to experience design through prototyping, testing, and iteration. Digital tools including CAD, interface design software, animation, and visualisation are used to model, test, and communicate experiences, supporting the delivery of resolved, user-facing design outcomes.

Going to university is a life-changing step and it's important to understand the costs involved and the funding options available before you start. A full breakdown of the fees associated with this programme can be found on our course fees pages.
For eligible undergraduate students going to university for the first time, scholarships and bursaries are available to help cover costs. To help support students from outside of the UK, we are also delighted to offer a number of international scholarships which range from £1,000 up to the value of 50 per cent of tuition fees. For full details and information about eligibility, visit our scholarships and bursaries pages.
Along with the software a basic materials package will be provided, including some essentials such as paper and pencils but will be required to cover additional costs specific to the study of product design. These typically include costs for rapid prototyping, art materials, printing, exhibitions, and creating a final collection for the third year’s show.
Level 1 and 2 students report typically spending £200-300 per year on course materials and equipment. Level 3-Final year expenditure can be greater due to the production of a final garment collection and portfolio.
It should be noted that successful work is not necessarily dependent on high costs but on the level of originality, innovation, creativity, and resourcefulness. It is however expected that students on the programme will have sufficient funding to support the costs of their studies without hindrance.
Students on this course have the option to undertake external visits, which can range in cost from £300 to £1,000, dependant on the destination. The participation in these trips will have no impact upon your final award and savings and contribution plans are put in place for these.
Students are also invited to participate in an optional graduate exhibition event and to make a £200 (approx) contribution, which is financially supported by both the programme and by the Lincoln School of Design. Contributions help students to attend a graduate event with designers, employers, and manufacturers. The School and programme make a major contribution to the stand, production, prototyping, materials, and image costs.
Students are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs while undertaking a work experience or an internship.
