Do you want to make a difference in the world by designing products and services that people love? The innovators of the 21st century will think across disciplines—arts, science, engineering, humanities, and business — to develop groundbreaking products, services, and ways of living. They will be collaborative problem-solvers with a breadth of skills that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures.
This unique course at the University of Bristol combines in-depth subject expertise with interdisciplinary, practice-based learning. Alongside your innovation studies, you will apply your design knowledge by transforming ideas into enterprising solutions - both social and commercial.
Design with Innovation offers a multidisciplinary curriculum that includes user-centred design, ethnographic research methods, idea visualisation, interaction design, cognitive psychology, human factors, data analysis, and design leadership. With a strong emphasis on experiential learning, you will apply your skills to real-world projects tailored to your interests and career aspirations. Graduates of this programme will also be well-prepared for postgraduate study in specialist master’s programmes at leading international universities.
Group work is a core component of teaching and learning in Innovation. You will work alongside students from diverse disciplines such as psychology, physics, and film and television. Each subject brings a unique perspective to problem-solving, helping you identify needs and develop creative solutions. By contributing your insights and learning from others, you will cultivate innovative approaches to real-world challenges together. The programme also supports personal development, offering opportunities to pursue topics and projects aligned with your interests and values.
By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning personal entrepreneurial ventures. You will have learned how to assess the potential of products and services and sustain new enterprises — including securing funding. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you throughout your journey.
