Our subjects Product design degrees
What is product design?
Product design involves creating new products to be sold by a business to its customers. It’s also about understanding product requirements and functionality, questioning existing ways of doing things and seeing opportunities to change things for the better.
Why study product design?
Product design engineering is an exciting industry that continually evolves alongside technology, product advancements, the demand for quicker turnaround times, unique and personalised products, and environmentally friendly supply chains and production.
As a design engineer, you’ll be involved in almost every aspect of the product journey, from the initial concept, design, development, testing and management of projects to the manufacturing.
Studying product design gives you broad theoretical knowledge and practical skills you’ll need to use production methods and materials creatively.
