Course summary
Our BSc (Hons) Industrial Design (with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year) is a five year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Your fourth academic year would then include a year in industry placement. Are you endlessly curious and always wondering how you could make things work better? Do you love taking objects apart for a closer look? Are you prepared to get your hands dirty? If so, our BSc (Hons) Industrial Design degree course at UCA Canterbury could be perfect for you. This technical design course could lead to a number of careers, from mass fabrication or engineering, to working for tech firms or joining the automotive industry. Industrial designers deal in the details, and we’ll teach you how to look at the smallest items and work out how to improve them. You’ll learn to use industry-leading software, develop your problem-solving skills, gain a deep understanding of materials and systems, examine sustainability considerations, and develop your knowledge of how things work. And you’ll learn all this in great studio spaces with incredible making facilities, alongside lecturers, tutors, and technicians who have extensive knowledge and experience in the field.
