What the college says

Product design is all about creating new three-dimensional products through a process of idea generation, development, hands-on making and evaluation. Product designers have an understanding of the relationship between art, science and technology, and have the ability to exploit each of these things in different ways to create new products. Good design is the backbone of our everyday lives. Product innovations can radically alter the way we are able to carry out simple daily tasks. On a higher level, new designs can change the way we interact with the environment, influence our social experiences or even save lives. A career in product design offers you an opportunity to make a real impact.
