Preparing you for your future career
All our Visual Arts courses offer you the opportunity to undertake a placement year or professional practice opportunities, nationally and internationally.* Hear from Mohammed Nazmul Islam who studies Product Design and has done a placement with Paul Stott Design.
During my placement, I worked with clients and briefs to create new furniture ranges. The designs were for a range of companies including John Lewis and Bensons for Beds. Directly influencing companies and designs gives you such a proud feeling. Especially when you see your creation in stores.
