You develop design solutions, communicating them through a range of strategies including computer-aided design and modelling. Products are made using a range of materials and processes, both modern and traditional; considering the client’s needs and wider issues such as sustainable and responsible design.

This experience allows you to gain insight into a large company philosophy and the implications of mass production on products you design.
