Through this course students will be able to recognise design needs and develop an understanding of how current global issues, including integrating technology, impacts on today’s world. Through contextual challenges students will increasingly have the freedom to take design risks and innovate in situations where it is safe to test and refine their ideas. This experience will give them the confidence they need to progress through the course to develop this capability in addressing their own design briefs with clients/end users.
