Product design engineers take basic ideas and turn them into fully functioning products. This course is designed to help you develop the creative engineering skills necessary to develop products, which not only do what they're intended for, but also look good and offer value for money. You’ll develop skills in ergonomics, aesthetics and graphic communications alongside those in engineering materials and manufacturing. Our Product Design courses have common content in Years 1 and 2 so you can transfer between courses until the end of Year 2.

Many companies return year-on-year to recruit from our department. Product design engineers have the opportunity for careers as design engineers, process engineers, CAD engineers or teachers. Some of our graduates go onto graduate trainee programmes with companies such as Diageo, Accenture, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar.
