Lecturer (Final Major Project Supervisor): Interior Design

For more than 120 years, we've been at the forefront of creativity and innovation. Building on that heritage, we're now harnessing the power of digital technology to ensure we're making an impact in the future economy.

The creative culture at our core is not confined to our Cornwall campuses; with our online degrees established in 2016, students can explore their creative potential from anywhere, whilst being taught by our academic community with real industry connections. We are committed to continuing to expand our horizons and moving our online portfolio forward.

In support of this we are now seeking to recruit a Lecturer to join our BA Hons Interior Design (Online) team in the School of Architecture, Design and Interiors. Your role will involve working on a module which is titled ‘Career Portfolio’ which is the final major project and final module for level 6 students.

 

This module continues the work from their previous module called Future Environments where students developed their own research, brief and overall approach to a site of their choosing.

 

This module Career Portfolio gives students the opportunity to resolve their site fully, including technical detailing, materiality and ethical construction approaches which respond to their design narratives.

 

The assignment for this module will resolve the project technically as well as aesthetically ensuring they have included sustainability and designing for deconstruction and considered carbon capture. Students are encouraged to use this final opportunity to develop a comprehensive body of work that demonstrates your position as an independent designer, ready to move into the commercial world with the production of a final showcase of work.

 

Students will conclude with a cohesive and fully resolved project that demonstrates their own personal design pathway. This project will form the basis of their graduate portfolio as they transition beyond the course.

Student focused, well organised, and digitally literate you will be running live tutorials, webinars, online workshops and providing support for a group of students.
