Overview

At the Jewellery and Metal Design (Hons) team from University of Dundee , technical skills form the basis of the course, but you will also learn to consider the historical, social, and aesthetic context of your creations through written assignments.

This course 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.

Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to exhibit your work, as well as participate in special projects as they arise within the exciting research environment of DJCAD. Your final year will culminate in an exhibition of your final outcomes as part of the annual Degree Show.
