You will refine your technical skills in specialized facilities—such as design labs and studios at the Merchiston Campus—while grounding your creative output in rigorous, critical research. The programme culminates in a substantial dissertation or final project, allowing you to synthesize your chosen modules into a definitive piece of professional work.
