Course summary

Product Design is all around us. Everything we come into contact with, from our smart phones and our plastic milk bottles to a Ferrari F1 car and a child’s scooter, has been considered and designed by someone. There is a huge industry made up of many different roles that go into creating all our products that we take for granted. Concept artists, materials analysts, designers, modelling specialists… the list goes on. This is what makes Product Design such a varied and interesting course and career. The subject also leads into other roles such as Architect, Automotive engineer. Graphic designer. Materials engineer. Product manager. Production designer, theatre/television/film. Purchasing manager.
