The Programme: overview
The BA (Hons) Design at NABA London integrates theoretical studies with many project-based learning experiences, rooted in the “learning and teaching by doing” over-arching approach of this Academy. The curriculum of the course will expose you to a variety of different educational experiences and provide you with a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and competences. The articulation of the learning path allows you to reach a high level of maturity in terms of design methodology, cultural awareness, critical thinking, and technical skills, as well as self-confidence in the capacity to manage and lead successfully any kind of design process.
Over the BA, students will have the opportunity to:
- Acquire the cultural, scientific and technical competencies to develop a “problem setting” and “problem solving” approach
- Develop the ability to understand specific contexts of use, translate the analytical elements into typological and formal solutions, and determine aspects of marketing and distribution
- Learn how to use tools and techniques for the representation of spaces and products
