Every time you buy something a designer has been involved in creating it and promoting it. What you buy may have been made in one country, but has usually been designed in UK, Europe or USA. The net flow of payments for licences and royalties of designs from manufacturing countries such as China to UK is massive.

British designers are amongst the leading designers in the world and have developed their expertise in UK Universities such as Staffordshire University.

Now you can experience the advantages of studying design with Staffordshire University in Malaysia. The Degrees offered by APIIT have the same curriculum as at Staffordshire University in the UK.

They will develop your abilities to work on your own and in a team in initiating and creating a wide range of products and promotional activities, including advertisements for print, broadcast, and online as well as display packaging and other promotional support tools.

Many of the world’s most iconic and recognizable designs originate in the UK. Think of the UK Union Jack flag to be found on clothing and cars, the easily recognizable MINI car, the London Underground map which has been copied by rail systems around the world and London buses.

You may want to equip yourself for a career in pretty much any sector that requires a certified Designer. Whatever the case, you’ll find we’ve an industry-leading course for you.

Having won hundreds of awards in IT and Business, APIIT or Asia Pacific University is focused on providing the best education possible in all that they offer.

Teaching and Learning for the BA (Hons) Transport Design at Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT)

The broad emphasis of our teaching and learning strategy is on exploring creativity and practice through research, theory

and studio projects. A variety of methods are used to assess your learning and progression, as outlined below, but they are all designed to reinforce the strategy of integrating the intellectual and experiential processes of learning in a creative environment.

Modules are based on a brief set by the module leader, or an external agency or company. You will experience practical work in each level, typically in the form of practice-based resolutions to assignment briefs, where creative applications emerge as a result of research and proposals within several modules.

Teaching in year 1 is designed to identify your ambitions for the programme and your strengths and weaknesses. You are introduced to an ethos that promotes reflexive learning, building upwards from this initial diagnosis. Themes and issues dealt with at this introductory level are also common across the programme.

Later Modules foster more independent project orientated modes of study, but with substantial staff support. This prepares you for the final year, in which the expectation is that you will manage your study time yet more independently with continued support and supervision.

Teaching methods include:

• Studio Teaching takes place in dedicated studios, and is a practice highly valued by students on creative programmes.

  

• Lectures and/or presentations by members of academic staff or visitors from outside the University.
• Seminars or discussion groups set up to discuss issues arising from lectures or from work in progress by the group members. These can involve presentations by you individually to the group, which may be assessed for content and delivery.
• Group Critiques occur mid-way or at the end of projects or modules. You present your work to the group of staff and students for discussion, for assessment purposes or to review progress.

Active participation in critiques is encouraged and is a valuable opportunity to develop confidence in presentation and communication skills.

Teamworking is an important part of the design process and it is important that you have experience of working in and managing teams. Several modules require teamworking.

Pre-selected teams are established by the teaching staff or student group according to the requirements of the module

descriptor, and/or project brief. These teams will liaise to manage all aspects of the project, meet regularly to undertake research, concept development and final presentation.

Tutorials are set up to enable you to discuss your work with members of staff. These can also involve groups of staff and students, with the objectives of encouraging analysis and reflection and providing feedback on progress. Technical demonstrations of technical processes by staff or technician instructors.

Educational Study visits take place in design consultancies, cities, cultural centres, exhibitions and conferences, and introduce you to industry contacts and working practices. Independent Study is essential in developing and sustaining a professional approach to work. Self-motivation and time management skills are an important part of your education and experience, and this independent practice forms the basis for on-going student learning.

Assessment for the BA (Hons) Transport Design at Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT)

• Sketchbooks or logs, documenting the process of generating, developing and resolving thoughts and ideas and demonstrating the influence of research on practical work
• Studio concept development boards and portfolios
• Research files, documenting the gathering, sorting and presentation of research material
• Creative output professionally presented in the format required by the assignment, project or brief including clay and computer models.
• A report, written according to given guidelines as to word count and illustrated as required by the assignment
• The script for a seminar presentation, and the presentation itself
• Coursework carried out in response to assignments, project briefs or self initiated proposals, and presented in forms appropriate to professional practice, allows students to demonstrate the acquisition of learning outcomes through a variety of strategies.

At the end of most projects you will present your designs and concepts to a panel whether that be lecturers, practicing designers or both. This ensures that by graduation you have developed excellent verbal and visual presentation skills, that will help set you apart.
