The first two years of theÊProduct Design degree offered by Brunel University London will contain a balanced blend of creative and technical subjects and mechanics and electronics are taught at a theoretical level. In your final year, you move on to more specialised areas and youÕll be introduced to the human-centred design process, enabling you to identify alternative design solutions.

There is a lot of project-based learning to test your skills and youÕll see the outcome of your design from concept to making the actual product. This means youÕll be able to build a great portfolio of your best-quality projects, academic and industry briefs, and case studies during your studies.

YouÕll have workshop training and will use industry-standard equipment and software to develop quality hands-on skills to become a maker. Independent access is available to modern facilities that include dedicated design studios, digital sketching, extensive prototyping workshops, and electronics and digital fabrication labs. The practical knowledge you gain is transferable to industry and provides a head start for your future career as a designer and design making in the modern world.
