Product Design is a studio-based, hands-on course. Its focus on design, materials, processes and technology produces highly employable graduates. This adaptable course is designed primarily for students from either an Art and Design or Technology with Design background who wish to follow careers within the design (product, industrial) and design-making industries (to encompass ceramics, metal and jewellery) or who wish to teach in either Art and Design or Technology with Design, or want to undertake further design-related studies at Masters or Doctoral level. The course provides stimulating and challenging practice-based education for the designer and designer-maker within a multidisciplinary studio environment with fabricating and prototyping at the core of the curriculum. There is access to metal, jewellery, ceramics and wood workshops, and 3D printing facilities.<br><br>The emphasis is on design (wood/ plastic) and design as making (clay/ ceramics and metal/ fine metal), so manufacture and material manipulation are very important with maquettes, concepts and testing as key parts of design creation and product development. State-of-the-art metal, jewellery, wood and ceramics workshops with full technical support offer facilities for fabrication and manipulation of soft and hard materials, as well as applied skills for metal and plastics.<br><br>Practice is informed by a strong culture of contextual understanding and critical writing and reflection. Students will engage in multidisciplinary work-based learning through collaborative projects and industrial placements underpinned by teaching in professional practice, strategic business thinking and entrepreneurship. Product, ceramics, jewellery and metalsmithing are the course pathways comprising designer and designer-maker strands.
