Bath School of Design
Develop genuine skill, understanding and confidence, and take your practice to a professional level with our MA Design. - Reach your creative potential through exciting professional projects and exhibitions. - Learn from accomplished design professionals, with excellent academic and technical support. - Work in dedicated studio spaces and benefit from excellent workshop and fabrication facilities. MA Design encourages a healthy interplay of approaches and ideas across visual design and the applied arts. You may want to bring and explore a particular design interest on the programme, or select a pathway in Visual Communication, Graphics, Textiles or Illustration. This is a practical design course, grounded in developing skills in all areas of professional, critical and research process. We encourage you to work both independently and collaboratively, alongside students specialising in range of areas including fine art photography, painting, media and ceramics. Over the course of the programme, you will build a strong professional approach to your practice, and you’ll demonstrate this with your final MA project in a public show at the Locksbrook campus at the end of the programme. On successful completion of the course, your increased confidence and abilities will be clearly evident in the portfolio you’ve developed and you'll be ready to move into industry, or to continue to further study.
Getting in
As the university states it
We're looking for energetic and self-motivated individuals who can work on their own but also see the value in working in collaboration with others. They should enjoy asking questions and solving creative problems. You’ll need a good undergraduate degree in a design, visual communication or art specialism, or its equivalent in terms of learning or experience, and a good working knowledge of design, visual communication or art contexts. Fundamentally, you’ll be selected on your ability to thrive on this course, as demonstrated by your portfolio and interview.
