About the course

On this course you will:

  • develop, learn and innovate with advanced manufacturing processes, including robotics for fabrication and assembly, 3D printing, CNC milling, water jet, 3D scanning and laser cutting.
  • have access to large-volume space for 1:1 prototyping at Here East in close proximity to complimentary disciplines and expertise in civil engineering, computer science, architectural computation, environmental design and performance design.
  • work collaboratively to design and prototype elements, such as furniture systems, structures and enclosures, set within the context of contemporary challenges such as sustainability, production, cost, and assembly.
  • work with B-made, The Bartlett Manufacturing and Design Exchange, our state-of-the-art fabrication resource staffed by experts in craft, making, manufacturing and robotics.
  • have access to simulation and fabrication software within a new experimental factory-based environment
  • contextualise design innovation and design practice within theoretical discourse on architectural and engineering design, digital design, automation and industrial processes.
  • participate in the triennial FABRICATE conference.

Programme summary

There is an abundance of advanced design and engineering tools in the UK that an elite workforce develop and deploy to export their expertise worldwide. Yet there is currently a shortage of skilled workers at the point of production tasked with delivering increasingly sophisticated and challenging projects by clients, in line with rising expectations on quality and regulation.

The Design for Manufacture Masters course aims to prepare a new professional workforce of highly skilled, creative and adaptable experts, with tacit and explicit knowledge in design, engineering, material behaviour, analogue and digital craft, and advanced systems operations.

This course will expose students to new forms of advanced design and engineering methodologies – such as robotics and 3D scanning – that are currently reinventing core approaches to shaping, making and refitting the built and manufactured environment.
