On our MA in Art and Design Practice, there are frequent opportunities to work with industry. Our students get to meet leading figures in the field, to work alongside them and produce innovative design work.
Our recent graduates are showing in the best London venues; including the May Design Series at the ExCeL centre, Tent and 100% Design. Recently, our design students also exhibited their work at Herman Miller in London.
Our students have the opportunity to visit international destinations. Examples of previous trips include attending a summer school with the famous Lago Studio in Italy or visiting New York.
The majority of our postgraduate students are in work shortly after they finish the course. Many already have jobs or make contact with future employers while they are on the course.
We’ve helped fine artists to become prize-winning furniture designers and fashion designers to become product designers. Printmakers might end up constructing steel cocoons, or knitting their thoughts. We take your interests and challenge you to push the boundaries.
This course sits within the exciting and innovative School of Design, Craft and Visual Arts.
With my craftsmanship certificate in my hand I moved to the UK to study Jewellery and Silversmithing at Bucks. It was here where I learned how to develop my own ideas and concepts and transform them into 3D objects. Thanks to all the knowledge and experience I gained at Bucks, I was able to continue my career as a traditional silversmith. Now I am a product designer who develops cutlery ranges and tableware objects for some of the largest flatware companies in the world.
