It’s that time of the year again, when we’re starting to think about the Winter holidays (only two months away!) so Goldsmiths needs your help to create an amazing Christmas card, students! The competition is open to all current students and closes on November 11 at 10 am. The entry must be your own work for which you own the copyright, and it must focus on either a “Winter” or “myGoldsmiths” theme.
You can find more details and the application form HERE.
We are very happy to announce that the Design Star Consortium, a collaboration between the University of Reading, Loughborough University, Brighton University, the Open University and the Design Department at Goldsmiths, has been awarded £2.2 million in funding by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
The AHRC funds will be matched with similar amounts from the universities and will be used to support around 60 PhD researchers over the next five years, a great investment in the design research of the future. You can expect to hear more on this from us soon, but until then, you can read the official press release from the University of Reading HERE.
We’re very happy when the achievements of our students, graduates and staff are being recognised and talked about, so we’re trying to keep track of their press appearances.
The Press page on the Goldsmiths website has a new layout now (click here), but we will continue to improve it and to add new content. If you spotted an article that is relevant to Goldsmiths Design, don’t hesitate to send it our way.
Throughout the academic year that just started, the Design Department at Goldsmiths has planned a series of postgraduate research seminars under the title “Design Matters”. The sessions are targeted at MPhil/PhD students as a path for presenting research to peers and colleagues. The schedule includes roundtable discussions, panels and guest speakers; the first seminar, which takes place on October 23rd, will be a PechaKucha style presentation of doctoral research topics.
