Intro

Product designers use creativity and problem-solving skills to develop innovative solutions that enhance people’s lives.

Our Product Design BSc(Hons) integrates practical experience and theoretical knowledge in a supportive environment as you develop the skills to become a well-rounded professional. You learn to navigate every stage of the product development process, with the ability to design sustainable, socially conscious, commercially viable and technically sound solutions.

Project-based learning in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary studio environment that mirrors industry, encourages you to learn from and with each other, helping prepare you for your career.

Preparing for your career

In your career you need a combination of knowledge, technical ability, communication skills and relevant experiences – and you’ll get all of this from your degree.

The product design degree course provides subject knowledge and expertise, opportunities to put what you learn into practice and work-related experience. You'll also develop transferable personal skills in teamwork, and project and time management skills that will be valued wherever your career takes you.

Working and collaborating with students from all years of your course, and with postgraduate and research students, is a big part of your learning experience.

Through your final year project you will demonstrate that you can design and take a product to market and show your work in the graduate show exhibition. Selected students will exhibit their work at the prestigious New Designers show in London.

Career destinations

Brighton’s product design course equips you for a wide variety of professions, ranging from traditional manufacturing and design consultancy through to creative industries such as graphics, social media, marketing, research and new technologies. We have an excellent graduate employment record and your CV will be enhanced by Brighton's reputation in the industry.

Our students have gone from Brighton into both local and internationally renowned companies including:

  • Apple
  • Dyson
  • Hallmark Cards
  • Jaguar
  • Mars
  • Nokia

Many have gone on to set up their own enterprises with support from the university.
