Introduction
Design for Event, Exhibition and Performance specialises in ‘storytelling spaces’, whether for a brand, a collection, or an idea. Students on the course can undertake projects that integrate aspects of spatial, interactive, and graphic design to create engaging, narrative environments.
This first year focuses on educating and supporting students to help them develop 3D design skills and gain expertise in drawing, modelling, and digital communication. Through seminars and projects, students can become aware of social and contextual issues around design production and be introduced to the importance of visual literacy in spatial, figurative, and performance design.

All Level 1 modules of the BA (Hons) Design for Event, Exhibition and Performance programme must be successfully completed for the award of the Certificate of Higher Education. The programme has been designed to provide students with the opportunity, upon successful completion, to progress directly into Level 2 of the full degree programme.
