Overview
Design Engineering (Hons) at Queen Mary University of London blends creative design thinking with cutting-edge engineering expertise, equipping you with the skills to innovate beyond conventional solutions. You won’t just apply existing knowledge to solve problems - you’ll rethink the problem itself, uncovering overlooked users and challenging assumptions to design more effective, human-centred solutions.
From pitches to portfolios
In tutorial-style sessions, we’ll encourage you to think and develop as an independent designer, with pitches, presentations and portfolios to put your skills to the test. You’ll explore material properties of artefacts as well as looking at their environmental impact and manufacturing. All with support from academics and technical staff, as well as visiting design consultants.
In your final year, you’ll identify and explore a design problem that interests you. Past students have designed kit for the London Air Ambulance, tools to help patients communicate pain more effectively and solutions to avoid single-use containers in the cosmetic industry.
