Industrial Design: Product & Transport (with a placement year)

This course will encourage students to create products that focus on the user experience, and explore opportunities for new technology and smart materials. There are two pathways offered within this course from which students can pursue based on their interests: Product Design; Transport Design. The Product Design pathway is suitable for those who want to pursue a career designing anything from toys, lighting and furniture, to household goods and consumer technology. The Transport Design pathway is perfect for those who want to focus on concepts for autonomous vehicles, supercars, sustainable mass-transit and motorcycles. The course is designed to mirror industry practice with students working alongside companies on live projects, often resulting in placement opportunities. The teaching staff are highly experienced and our students also benefit from weekly visits by associate lecturers. They share their inside knowledge of working as designers in what is an ever-changing industry. Students may add consultancy visits to London and New York and, whether they plan to work in the product or transport industry, or as an independent consultant, students will be provided with ample opportunities for them to acquire the skills necessary for success.
