CSM BA (Hons) Jewellery Design offers a diverse and stimulating learning environment in which innovation, originality and excellence are encouraged and developed. Our students explore a variety of approaches to the jewellery discipline, creating work which questions the position, the role and the materiality of jewellery in a contemporary context. Graduates from the BA in Jewellery Design are equipped with a wide range of skills across hand making and traditional techniques, material exploration, design and problem solving, computer aided design, critical thinking and communication skills. The course focuses on visual awareness, research, observation and experimentation. Drawing and model making are considered important tools for investigating and communicating your ideas. 



The course aims to support students in discovering and developing their individual creative identity, and expressing what jewellery means to them. Work created on the BA Jewellery Design will question the future of the jewellery discipline with thoughtful and skilfully executed outcomes. An awareness of cultural issues relevant to jewellery design, and an investigation into the ethical implications of jewellery manufacture are important considerations; project briefs will require students to engage with social, racial, sustainable and environmental issues in the development and creation of their work.  



Industry partnerships, external collaborations and employability skills are an integral part of the course. Through an embedded programme of professional practice, students develop the necessary skills to prepare themselves for a variety of career options and professional opportunities that take place within the course, as well as for life after graduation. Live projects occur throughout the course, providing students with valuable industry feedback and exposure. The BA (Hons) Jewellery Design cultivates strong partnerships with industry and recognises the valuable enhancements these bring to the course and the student experience. 



Cultural Studies is an important element of the course, which offers a range of skills to critically analyse objects, images, spaces and practices in art and design and popular culture. Cultural Studies tuition runs in parallel with your studio work, and supports the research, investigation and consideration of history, society, theory, environment and culture in your jewellery practice.  



We are committed to developing ethical jewellery design practices. To achieve this, we are working to embed UAL's Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice into the course.
