Course summary
The Design course combines architecture, engineering, and material science in one degree. It will challenge you to think about global issues in the built environment, like climate change, and how to address them.
At Cambridge, you'll have the opportunity to design solutions to a range of environmental and social challenges.
You will learn how small and large-scale designs influence people, cultures, economies and the natural world. The designs you study will be wide-ranging. The course is centred on multi-disciplinary design in the built environment, but you'll also cover the design of physical objects, apps, artificial intelligence and electronics.
