BASc Design for Sustainable Innovation is a creative, pluralist programme which welcomes all backgrounds and practices to work together towards innovations for a better future. At Warwick Design Studies, we invite you on a learning journey across disciplinary boundaries as we help you build your design mindset and design skillset towards implementing sustainable change in the world.

On this unique and exciting new course, you will learn and develop all the necessary skills required to sustainably innovate across all areas of design. From creating an artefact or product to developing a service, governance, strategy or improved system, this industry-led degree will enable you to explore a wide range of design disciplines and careers before specialising in an area of your choosing later in your studies with us.

This is a future-facing programme, which aims to develop a new generation of designers as holistic, strategic, and agile interdisciplinary practitioners. By studying this degree, you will acquire the knowledge and skills to become a responsible and ethical designer able to tackle society’s major challenges in order to build a sustainable and regenerative society.

You will work with design industry experts and regional communities to co-design products, processes and solutions.

Our department is underpinned by an ethos of design for sustainable innovation , and an approach to design which differs from traditional design programmes across the United Kingdom.

Through rigorous academic and applied development of design skillset and mindset, our students will be shaped into future leaders and visionaries who will be able to develop the necessary skills to innovate across all spheres of design and examine how positive change can be achieved through the application of the theory and practice of design.
