Product designers create the products, services and experiences that we use in our daily lives. If you are creative and care about shaping our future relationships with artefacts and technology, then product design offers you a doorway to an exciting discipline that shapes people's lives for the better.

Our teachers are collaborators, constantly encouraging you to develop your own unique design style. We'll plug you into the industry from day one; you'll be pushing live briefs to the edge of your imagination as you explore the needs of users, markets and manufacturers. You'll create with your mind, your hands and cutting-edge software.

You'll learn how designers guide projects as visionaries and leaders, acting as the glue between specialists. Through placements, competitions and exhibitions, you'll have the chance to meet and impress some of the biggest names in the game.

We've built this course in consultation with product design's most influential employers. We know what they want, and that's what we teach. With hard work and creative bravery, you could be following our global network of alumni to the likes of Adidas, Puma, Sony, Speedo, the BBC, Habitat, Made.com and Matter.
