Product Design - BSc (Hons)

The things in our lives, the objects that we love, the equipment we use and the tools we depend upon, are developed by product designers. A product designer is as much a creative problem solver as they are an identifier of problems. They respond to human needs within real-world contexts, develop sustainable interventions, rigorously test them and turn them into products ready to be manufactured and put to use. Accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers, a Product Design degree from Cardiff Met will give you the skills this fast-moving industry demands. You will explore cutting edge design thinking, sustainable design principles, material science and engineering, rapid prototyping and manufacturing, and human-centred design principles. You will work within real-world contexts on live briefs, on interdisciplinary projects and creative competitions to develop your knowledge of design processes through to manufacture. Opt to study either a BA or a BSc Product Design - whichever you choose, you'll gain thorough knowledge of the product development process and leave with the skills and expertise you need to become a designer whose products have the potential to change lives.
