Question what design actually is and what your ideas can achieve. Studying at Lancaster, you’ll search for ways design can solve cultural, social and environmental problems. Our expansive degree provides you with a broad set of skills and a keen understanding of how design can be applied to create positive change across varied contexts.

Think differently

Our students learn to conduct design research and conceptualise physical solutions. You’ll investigate a range of areas in which design plays a critically important role, such as such as environmental sustainability, healthier lifestyles, urban wellbeing and ethical digital futures.

Develop transferable problem-solving skills and learn how to work effectively as part of a design team. By the time you graduate, you’ll be able to research, ideate, prototype, visualise, iterate and present your design work to a professional standard.

We support you to develop your portfolio and build professional contacts throughout your degree. We organise for design professionals to come and talk about design, and many of our students choose to do a summer internship with a design consultancy, agency or within a large organisation.

 

Many different types of organisations are increasingly recognising the value that graduates with a creative imagination and broad-ranging design skills can bring. Our graduates shine, as they are able to articulate how design can bring value to an organisation and are capable of pursuing a wide range of design-related careers such as:

• User experience designer
• Design researcher
• Design ethnographer
• Graphic designer
• Interaction designer
• Brand manager
• Design facilitator
• Service designer
• Design consultant

Some of our graduates have gone on to work in large organisations as design researchers, design facilitators and brand innovation consultants whilst others have begun their careers in more traditional roles such as graphic design and multimedia design. We also have a strong track record of graduates going on to study postgraduate courses at prestigious institutions.

Our Careers and Employability Service will be on hand to offer tailored advice and guidance throughout your journey, and you’ll also receive careers support on a departmental level.
