The
following information was taken directly from BathSpa University's
printed prospectus.
"The MA Design programme has five routes; Brand Development;
Ceramics; Fashion and Textiles; Interaction Design; Investigating
Fashion Design.
You will choose one of these specialist routes, but students
from all five courses will explore together common principles
in the philosophy and approach to design. you will then
focus on the diversity and individuality of your particular
design specialism.
Course structure and content
The course is offered in both full and part-time modules.
It is normally one calendar year (three trimesters) in duration
in the full time mode, or six trimesters in part-time mode.
The course is in three parts:
• The Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in trimester
1
• The Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in trimester 2
• Master of Arts (MA) in trimester 3
During the first two trimesters full time students are expected
to give four days a week to the courses and part-timers
two days a week. All teaching is supported by email and
you will have a personal tutor and ready access to the course
director. For full-time students, trimesters 1 and 2 involve
four modules leading to the PGDip. All students take a common
module, Research Methodologies, in the first trimester.
At the same time you will undertake the first module of
your chosen design discipline in Trimester 1, followed by
two further specialist modules in Trimester 2. Finally an
individually negotiated study forming a body of work, in
Trimester 3, completes the MA.
Teaching methods and resources
Specialist facilities include computer studios with over
70 Macs, as well as flatbed and transparency scanners. Ceramics
students have workspaces in well equipped workshops, including
CAD facilities. There is an excellent glaze laboratory and
a range of electric and gas-fired kilns, including outdoor
firing facilities for salt and raku. There is also a dedicated
space and kilns for large-scale work. Fashion and Textiles
students benefit from specialist studio spaces for both
digital and screen printing, knitting, weaving, embroider,
laser cutting and pattern cutting, using the latest digital
technology for CAD/CAM. Interaction Design students will
benefit from a recently re-equipped digital media studio."
