Course Overview

You’ll be able to put your methods, materials, manufacturing, and engineering learning into practice by developing a product from concept to final model and prototype. You’ll also have the opportunity to spend a year on a paid industrial placement.

In your final year, you’ll exhibit in our end-of-year degree show Product of South Bank. Discover a round-up of the 2023 projects on Dezeen - from a children's book that raises awareness about chronic pain to a project that transforms textile waste from fast fashion into luxury products.
