Undergraduate routes
B.Des., BA (Hons) and BFA are labels you may encounter. Their focus varies by institution and country. Compare actual modules and studio projects instead of treating the title as a quality ranking.
Postgraduate routes
MA, M.Des. and MDes can describe different course structures. Check duration, credit load, research expectations and prior-study requirements for each programme.
