Specialist facilities
Our design studios provide you with a flexible working space, with computers integrated into the working environment. A textile space is also nestled next to a lecture area with digital projection equipment.
Guest Lectures
Lecturers from a range of design disciplines will visit throughout your course to talk about their own practice and run workshops. In your final year you’ll display your project work at our Degree Show, held in our award-winning Broadcasting Place - an event which attracts interest from artists and industry professionals.
We often run a number of guest lectures and workshops throughout the year, both on campus and in conjunction with external organisations. The INSIDE/OUT lecture series brings together some of the most exciting names from the fields of art, architecture, design, fashion, film, music, performing arts and beyond. You can catch up on previous lectures by visiting the Leeds Arts Research Centre site.
I was given the opportunity to work on a summer project for a real client. This developed into my final-year project. I found that extending the context of my project by working with a real client helped me learn a lot about real-world practice and allowed me to execute a professional outcome.
