Product Design Engineering Brunel University of London

Overview

The Product Design Engineering , MDes course from Brunel University of London  spans design and engineering, meaning you can develop products and systems with good form and function. The programme follows the same first three years as Product Design Engineering MDes, with an additional fourth year that raises the qualification to master's level.

There is a lot of project-based learning to test your skills and you’ll see the outcome of your design from concept to making the actual product. This means you’ll be able to build a great portfolio of your best-quality projects, academic and industry briefs, and case studies, during your studies.

You’ll have workshop training and will use industry-standard equipment and software to develop quality hands-on skills to become a maker. You'll have access to modern facilities that include dedicated design studios, digital sketching, extensive prototyping workshops, and electronics and digital fabrication labs. The practical knowledge you gain is transferable to industry and provides a head start for your future career as a designer and design engineer in the modern world.
