International Product Design (Top Up)

specialist costs

Compulsory estimate: £500

Optional estimate: £2000

Student submissions are often digital but there will be occasions when print is more suitable, however, this can be done cost-effectively by using Art School facilities and Manchester Met Print Services.

Whilst software and access to PC’s and Mac’s are provided on campus, it is recommended that students own a laptop for collating and developing written and visual research, for producing written submissions and presentations, and to facilitate flexible independent working. Subject-specific software is also required. 

General use workshop facilities are not charged for, but the use of more specialised processes such as laser cutting and digital printing are charged for, at cost. Materials are provided for workshop inductions, however further materials used when developing individual project work are not provided, but are available for purchase, at cost from Manchester School of Art workshops and Art Material stores.

placement costs

The Unit X unit may require some Visa, travel or subsistence costs should students choose to undertake a project that requires international travel.

other costs

Optional estimate: £1000

There may be travel costs involved in pursuing personal lines of research, and students are encouraged to visit professional design events to inform their personal practice. These might be local/national, such as London Design Week, 100% Design and Clerkenwell Design Week, or international such as Dutch Design Week, and Milan Design Week. As such, costs will be optional, and dependent on the level and scope of each student’s research activity.
