Obligations: Embedding employability through social ethical and sustainable design - HEA Annual Conference 2017 - Generation TEF: Teaching in the spotlight

The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how employability is being embedded in a BA Graphic Design course through social ethical and sustainable design. The presentation will show how these key themes weave throughout the curriculum at level 5 of the programme and how this approach is feeding directly into student motivation engagement confidence achievement and employability. The objective is to tie these themes together with examples of how BA Graphic Design students have achieved considerable success in the Creative Conscience Awards D&AD New Blood and RSA competitions and how this success has led directly to exciting employment opportunities.
