The Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street, is launching a new part-time design studies course starting in January. The course is aimed at mature students with an interest in design issues and design language who may already be working in the broad design field. This is a certificate course underpinned by a central module in design theory and history and it has been put together by DIT in partnership with industry. It will be delivered jointly by the School of Architecture, the Department of Engineering and the Department of Transport Engineering. Gallic Distributors, the Irish Citroen importers, have supported the course development and the module in vehicle design in particular. For further information contact the School of Architecture at (01) 402 3690.
