Course Overview

Product Design Engineering BSc degree is for creative thinkers who are also comfortable with mathematics and who enjoy the deeper analysis of functional and technical design challenges, principally focused on industrially-manufactured products. The course spans design and engineering, meaning you can develop products that both look good and work well. There is a lot of project-based learning to test your skills and youll see the outcome of your design from concept to making the actual product. This means youll be able to build a great portfolio of your best-quality projects, academic and industry briefs, and case studies, during your studies. Youll have workshop training and will use industry-standard equipment and software to develop quality hands-on skills to become a maker. Independent access is available to modern facilities that include dedicated design studios, digital sketching, extensive prototyping workshops, and electronics and digital fabrication labs. The practical knowledge you gain is transferable to industry and provides a head start for your future career as a designer and design making in the modern world. Our product design engineering course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and can be studied full-time over three years, or four years with a placement year.
