I want to be a designer - do you offer careers advice? What courses do you recommend?

We can't endorse specific design courses or educational institutions, but you can get information on all undergraduate design courses at the UCAS website.

UCAS publishes a guide called Progression to Art & Design in May each year (available from the publications section of its website). Other useful sources of advice on design education include the Times and Guardian websites.

For careers advice on working across the creative sector, visit www.yourcreativefuture.org. Your Creative Future provides an overview of the diverse careers available in the creative industries, from graphic design and crafts to book publishing and games design.
