Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Product Designers need to be able to research, imagine new ideas and bring them to life through sketching, prototyping and visualisation. 

On this Product Design (Hons) course from University of Dundee you will learn about the whole design process - research methods, sketching, prototyping, materials, manufacturing, sustainability, 3D modelling, electronics and how to program them. You’ll use people-centred design methods to find out what people want, and to design great products with and for them. You will learn about existing and emerging digital technologies and the role they play in transforming people's everyday lives. You’ll gain the skills to produce resolved working prototypes with integrated technology.

You will have access to world-class specialist workshops and the opportunity to explore processes such as ceramics, metalwork, casting, woodworking, laser cutting, 3D printing and CNC machining. You will work one-to-one and in small groups, with experienced tutors and expert workshop staff who will support you from your very first idea to finished product.  

With its ever-growing creative reputation and boosted by its UNESCO City of Design status, Dundee is a great place to study Product Design. You will have the opportunity to work with designers from industry as well as have the chance to enter national competitions. 

You will have the opportunity to take part in study visits and exchanges in third year. In recent years the students have had opportunities to study in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Finland. 

Graduates have gone on to work for organisations such as the BBC, Dyson, Google, Lego, Microsoft, Mountain Equipment, Superflux and Unilever. 

Teaching

You will spend most of your time in the Product Design studios. This is where project work, design tutorials, practical workshops and project reviews take place. 

Studio design projects are your opportunity to work on a range of individual and group project design briefs set by Product Design staff. Knowledge gained through modules is understood and applied through project-based learning.
