Development Alumni

Design at Wolfson

Design combines architecture, engineering and materials science in one degree, giving you the opportunity to design solutions to environmental and societal challenges. You will learn how small and large-scale designs such as physical objects, apps, artificial intelligence, electronics or architecture and planning systems can influence people, cultures, economies and the natural world.

The course is structured around a series of core studio projects, which will require you to create solutions to real-world problems: from planning stage through to pitching a final product and evaluating user impact. Many of the courses are taught with Architecture, but Design offers the opportunity to explore the technical side of design in much greater depth and will lead to partial professional accreditation in both architecture and engineering.

You can find further information about studying Design on the University's course . Detailed information is also available on the Department's Tripos  and Prospective Students
