Product Design (with Integrated Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)

Our established product design degree has an outstanding track record of producing graduates who go on to fulfilling and innovative careers. An optional year-long placement in the third year provides invaluable experience and often leads to opportunities on graduation.<br/><br/>This route, with integrated foundation year, includes an additional year of study at foundation level, opening up additional opportunities for you in this field if you do not currently hold the portfolio of work or academic qualifications required for entry to the 4-year course. This route may also be the right option for you if you are returning to study. <br/><br/>The extra year of study equips you with the knowledge and skills you need to progress whilst enabling you to build a portfolio. Successful completion of the foundation year means you can progress directly onto Product Design BSc(Hons). At this point you can also opt to continue on to our accredited Architecture BA(Hons) degree or our Interior Architecture BA(Hons) degree. <br/><br/>Whether you want to work in the creative or the engineering industries, this degree gives you the theoretical foundation and practical skills required to create original and sustainable consumer products.<br/><br/>During the course you will work through a series of projects, choosing specialist studios to suit your areas of design interest and learning the process of taking a product from concept to completion.
