Kingston University is ranked No. 1 in the UK for design and crafts* in the Guardian University League Tables 2020 (*covers graphic design, interior design, illustration, animation and product and furniture design).
We believe in practical experimentation and the hands-on understanding of materials and processes. Our student design work is broad, from commercial furniture and housewares in wood, metal, plastics and ceramics, to industrial design concepts for new products in new markets.
Our critical design projects push the boundaries of design and question how we might respond to future challenges in society. Our belief in making, prototyping and the development of new materials underpins our delivery, leading to prize winning designs and commercial sponsorship.
The teaching is delivered by a team of designers, practitioners and academics. Strong links with industry mean students can work with and challenge leading companies with their ideas and gain invaluable commercial experience. Previous "live" projects have included Foster & Partners, John Lewis, Dyson, SCP, Joined & Jointed and New Balance.
Our course has the option to be extended to four years, either through Erasmus exchange, placement or a combination. Optional study tours and visits are offered. Previously we have visited Milan, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and Valencia.
