BA Product and Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins believes that design is a process-driven activity that operates in a broadening range of professional contexts; from design consultancy and manufacturing, to business and enterprise and third sector and government.

The course will provide you with an open and supportive environment as you become a designer. We will equip you with the skills to make interventions in the world which are informed, creative, and meaningful. The design industry is forever evolving, absorbing information and developing culture, making positive impact upon our societies through the skills of imagination, visualization and realization. Today’s designer needs to be adaptable, agile, proactive, resilient, curious and ambitious.

BA Product and Industrial Design aims to lead the product design sector through the encouragement of optimistic vision, activism and action that develops these designerly competencies. We aim to educate our students to become the influencers and leaders for the next generation of creatives. We want to apply our collective intelligence to the challenges our societies face.

Studying on this course will expose you to a breadth of practical, technical and theoretical sector skillsets. You will learn and apply industry recognized tools in both studio and client led scenarios whilst making a journey that will allow you to find your own path as a creative. You will investigate, discover, design, create, make, collaborate, surprise and share in an environment of peers and experts. You will develop Eco literacy, address ethical questions in design, explore systems thinking, and develop critical thinking. You will leave equipped for the varied and ever-changing industry in order to define and design sustainable futures.

We are committed to developing ethical product and industrial design practices. To achieve this, we are working to embed UAL's Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice into the course.
