The BSc Product Design & Innovation Course

Students on our 4-year course learn to harness their creative, artistic, and problem-solving skills by gaining an understanding of technology and materials, and a sensitive awareness of human needs and behaviour through user-centred design.

The course is highly practical, with an emphasis on project-based learning, workshops, laboratory sessions, and group work. A six-month, full-time, work experience placement in a relevant employment setting ensures that knowledge gained through coursework is consolidated into real-life experience.
