Founded in 1845 as a government School of Design, The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is one of Europe’s leading higher education institutions for creative education and research in design, fine art and architecture. A GSA education is practice-based, face-to-face, professionally-oriented and socially engaged – Design Week magazine placed the GSA in its ‘Hot 50’ list as a Global Leader in its field, demonstrating their commitment to the development of design education, practice and research at the very highest levels. Students may choose to study degree programmes in Communication Design or Interior Design in Singapore.

(26)

With communication through design becoming ever more influential, the ability to harness this skill in dynamic and creative ways brings with it significant value. This programme encourages self-motivation and sustained independent learning through a variety of methods including lectures, seminars, presentations and group discussions, individual or group tutorials, projects, practical workshops and critical reviews. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with Interior Design students for briefings, reviews and feedback sessions.

CURRICULUM

This programme covers a wide range of topics that will help you develop a subject specialist understanding of Communication Design. You will learn studio-based, online and collaborative skills and also gain an advanced understanding of fundamental design thinking and process in the disciplines of illustration, photography or graphics. Additionally, communication design and its role in culture will be explored in the context of urbanism, globality, sustainability and ethics. This culminates in a substantial final project which will comprehensively demonstrate your acquired skills.

Our graduates work across the world in design agencies and international companies including Pentagram, Graphic Thought Facility, Esquire, Lust, O-SB, Wieden + Kennedy, Lewis Moberly, Williams and Phoa, BBC, Stand, and ISO, or in freelance practice in publishing, editorial, film and TV.

Interior design involves the creation of imaginative and stimulating environments in specific places – often within existing buildings. This requires a sensitivity to the particular qualities of a site, along with an understanding of the people who will populate it. You will learn to creatively embrace the constraints of brief and context, engaging in a dialogue between existing architectural form, and contemporary approaches to the function and aesthetics of a space.

CURRICULUM

This programme encourages bold, critical, conceptual thinking and the clear communication of ideas, and will allow you to self-direct and fine-tune your particular interests while honing both practical and intellectual skills. You will develop your creativity through sustained involvement with the design process via diverse projects, supportive and diagnostic tutorial discussions, and reviews with an informed audience of staff and peers. Digital methods of representation such as CAD, 3D-printing and immersive virtual imaging will also be covered.

As a graduate of this programme, you will have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience at various levels of responsibility before choosing to set up an independent practice or take a leading role in an established studio such as Conran Associates, Fitch Associates or Imagination. A position in a small specialist practice that focuses on creating, for example, video and recording studios, is another possibility.
