Furniture Industry Programmes - New Course Structure

All furniture industry programmes (see below) have a common first year.

So, if you are unsure of which path to choose, please select the Common Entry programme GA974 (level 7) or GA984 (Level 8).

You will then be introduced to the three pathways during your first year, and can then make your specific programme choice for second-year.

You can find further information on each of these programmes in our Programme Brochure (PDF 3.73MB).
