This truly unique 3D design course gives you a learning experience that encourages creativity, self-expression and the development of an exciting portfolio of market-ready products.
The course not only develops practical design skills but also the essential business and manufacturing skills vital for the commercialisation of desirable products. The range of subject matter is potentially huge, encompassing functional and decorative items.
Self-initiated design projects give you freedom to explore personal design philosophies. The outputs of projects form the focus of your business start-up activity.
