We focus on the practical, hands-on side of design – how products, systems and services are made and manufactured.

This course is perfect for those who are curious about design engineering and want to dive deep into electronics, robotics, materials testing and manufacturing.

You'll get to explore the latest trends like UX, smart technology and sustainability. Through product teardowns, you'll learn how to reverse engineer and improve existing designs.

On-site visits will give you the chance to work on live projects from top industry players, and you might even land a year-long professional placement with companies like L'Oréal, Samsung, Siemens and Triumph Motorcycles.

Our course is designed to make you a standout candidate for top employers. You'll graduate with the creativity of a designer, the skills of an engineer and the insight of a business leader.

That's why our alumni go on to work with big names like Lego, Dyson, Tesco, PepsiCo, Disney, Unilever and McLaren F1.
