Bachelor of Product Design

... New Zealand
... University of Canterbury

Course Overview

Product Design combines creative design, science, engineering, and business studies. Product designers plan and develop items for homes, businesses, and industry.

From creating a new lightweight kayak or a phone app, to formulating rongoā (medicinal products) or a virtual training world, studying product design will equip you for a wide range of occupations.

Graduates will be able to develop creative ideas based on their knowledge of related sciences and engineering disciplines, as well as gain the practical business skills needed to commercialise new products.

General Eligibility
