Bachelor of Design (Honours) - Jewellery and Metal Design (2nd year entry)

Despite its origins in historical tradition, the world of studio jewellery encourages its practitioners to be innovators and pioneers.

Using novel materials and digital technologies, students will work to develop their own voice in an increasingly diverse conversation. University of Dundee's strong studio culture means that students will be able to share ideas in a supportive environment.

Students will develop pieces of jewellery and wearable objects by gaining a deep understanding of the design process, from visual research to concept development to finished outcome. Technical skills form the basis of the course, but they will also learn to consider the historical, social, and aesthetic context of their creations through written assignments.

Dundee teaches traditional jewellery making techniques as well as technologies such as CAD/CAM, microelectronics for wearables, novel materials and 3D printing.

Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design’s facilities include a specialist metal and mixed materials workshop, in-house casting facilities, studio spaces, digital resources in a well-equipped Make Space, a wood workshop for both 2D and 3D making, and a foundry - one of only a handful in UK universities.
