What I enjoy most about my course is the connection you feel to other design students. The best parts of my final year were being sat in the upper levels with friends. One moment you would be making a breakthrough with your project, the next you would be talking through ideas and asking for advice from friends and the next you would be laughing and cracking jokes.
What I think design gives you, more than sketching and modelling skills, is a process and method for creating practical, functioning solutions to problems. That problem could be anything from ‘How do we improve the experience of using a kettle?’ through to ‘How can we reduce the impact of economic insecurity in the UK?’. Regardless of where your career leads you, you are equipped with a set of skills that will make you a problem solver.
