These award winning courses produce professional designers capable of highly creative design ideas.You will also develop sufficient technical know-how to solve problems and develop mass-produced products which have a worldwide appeal.

The courses have a high level of vocational bias and we enjoy close industry links, which result in a substantial amount of live project work and our excellent graduate career record.

We introduce a range of skills which include sketch drawing, physical model-making (aesthetic, ergonomic and prototypes), computer aided design skills (including rapid prototyping), together with technical and contextual inputs.

BA and BSc students enrol on to a common Year 1 programme and choose, with staff help, which pathway to follow at the start of Year 2. Both routes integrate an optional 48-week work experience period during Year 3.

The courses receive excellent feedback when we exhibit at the annual New Designers exhibition in London.
