MSc Design Engineering

The course addresses the issues associated with a rapidly changing market and the demands for better, cheaper and personalised products, developed within the shortest possible time.

Design engineers are problem-solvers who bridge the gap between traditional engineering and design. It's a discipline that draws on product development knowledge, technical design, manufacturing techniques and rapid prototyping to bring innovations to market. It also focuses on improving existing products and the processes used for making them.

Some of the most outstanding human achievements have come from creative design engineering, enabling the realisation of remarkable change in our world. Design engineering has helped to transform the environment, create incredible superstructures on land and sea, and even allowed people to travel into the solar system.

Design engineering has also developed many critical systems and services, from individual to global and universal scales. These systems have supported the radical scaling up of human activity in many areas.
