Course Overview

In this course, you will develop an advanced understanding of your design practice, and discover how emerging digital technologies can enhance your skillset, in order to take an individual and innovative approach to tackling complex industry challenges. The MSc program is tailored for students with BSc degrees or engineering design degrees so that they can build on their prior technical knowledge. There are no engineering modules on the MSc, instead, the broad curriculum has been designed for you to respond to the assessments by applying industrial product design and engineering design principles within concepts, final specification, and design. As an MSc graduate, you will have the technical engineering design expertise that will make you ideally placed for industry roles in manufacturing, product, and industrial design - or to continue onto further research and development within the industry or by studying a Ph.D. If you are interested in a Masters in Product Design but do not have a BSc degree, you may want to check out our Product Design MA. The flexibility of the curriculum allows you to create a distinct program of learning that is focused on your individual interests and ambitions. The taught modules culminate in a comprehensive project within your own specialism and cover key real-world processes in product design such as external validation, prototyping, testing, technical definition, and specification.

General Eligibility

You should have the equivalent or above of a 2:2 UK bachelors honours degree in product design, (typically a BSc rather than a BA) or a related subject. If you have other professional qualifications and industry experience we will consider your application on an individual basis.
