Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Career Prospects

Your course will shape your career, giving you the creative, technical, research, design and presentation skills needed to work as a product designer across a wide range of industries. You could go on to work in a design studio, for a consultancy, as a product designer for an organisation, or you could offer your services as a freelance designer. Alternatively, you may choose to set up your own studio or progress onto postgraduate study in the UK or overseas.
