Course summary

Our three-year BEng Product Design and Manufacture course combines creativity with engineering principles. The course is unique due to our engineering, analytical and manufacturing content, giving you a technical and real-world view of product design. Our course utilises modern technology - from digital sketching through to high end 3D printing, rapid prototyping facilities and virtual reality equipment, to ensure our graduates leave prepared for the modern world of product design. Our graduates are highly sought after, going on to work for top companies including Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, Unilever, Caterpillar and L'Oréal. You will take a broad range of modules to develop practical design skills and knowledge in key areas, including:

  • manufacturing
  • materials
  • ergonomics
  • marketing
Project work is a key part of the course, responding to challenges in a variety of sectors such as medical, automotive, packaging, appliances and electronic goods and many more. Projects enable you to take a realistic approach to design, utilising your taught knowledge of manufacturing and engineering principles. You’ll develop products and components that are appropriate for mass manufacture and consider commercial factors. Our courses are delivered by academic staff who have industrial experience, in conjunction with Product Designers who currently work in industrial roles. This ensures that our course is relevant to the current needs of employers. Explore our product design and manufacture end of year show. Why choose this course?
