Good engineering alone can’t solve the complex challenges of the 21st century. Neither can design if the ideas go beyond the capabilities of today’s technology. And that’s where this course comes in. Our practical programme allows you to develop strong creative design capabilities alongside engineering expertise. You won’t just apply your knowledge to solve problems. You’ll become a creative designer who can step back and question why a problem exists and discover users that have been overlooked. Go global and add an optional year abroad to your degree. Queen Mary has links with universities in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme). Your year abroad can be taken in Year 3 of your degree, with your Year 3 modules taken in Year 4.Our graduates find work in design consultancies and research and development, as well as going on to further study, at institutions such as the Royal College of Art and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. With design being such a broad discipline, graduates are well placed to work on products for the medical, sports, transportation and service industries, as well as consumer items. Some find work at start-ups, or set up their own businesses in manufacturing or consultancy.
