This module is practice-based and student will be engaging in developing their visual language as a response to multiple contextual and industry-driven prompts. The aim of this module is to challenge students' creative visual skillsets and develop them to further their own practices to generate appropriate, professional graphic visualisations for their projects and deliver high quality portfolios and design pitches. This is a studio module and will be delivered in a classic design studio environment, with support from specialist workshops (fabrication, wood, metal, acrylic, print). Students will be learning about and testing different applied methods to visual research and the production of graphic identities.
As part of the delivery, students will be engaging in design Crits and learning how to navigate a designerly discourse towards supportive communities of practice. Students will undertake a journey of unlearning and experimentation with the goal of initiating interests i specialist practices in their design methodologies.
Digital accessibility foundations learning module
A short digital learning module designed to introduce the UK public sector regulations, global standards, and college responsibilities for digital accessibility.
About the module
In today's digital world, accessibility is not just a legal requirement but also a moral duty. Ensuring that digital content is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, is essential for creating an inclusive environment. Failure to comply with accessibility requirements can result in significant financial and reputational consequences.

We will explore the models and empirical studies on economic growth.
As of 2024, roughly 25% of the global population lives in poverty (i.e. on less than $3.65 per day). Why does this persist? Understanding the causes and consequences of economic growth is more complex than it appears.
By the end of this course, you will have a more informed perspective. While some causes are known, many factors remain to be fully understood. Tackling macroeconomic challenges like global poverty through growth-enhancing policies is both intricate and multifaceted.
The course will provide students with a detailed knowledge of the New Keynesian model which provides the foundation for the macroeconomic policy models used in the worlds leading central banks. The course will also equip students with modern econometric techniques with which to investigate macroeconomic data, to assess the adequacy of theoretical models and to pose new questions. The New Keynesian approach will be briefly placed in the wider literature of optimizing rational agent models, with some discussion of the evolution from the Real Business Cycle to models with nominal rigidities. Modern topics are likely to include credit frictions and policy at the zero lower bound. Key skills developed include intertemporal optimisation and Structural VAR analysis.
