Design, Innovation and Creative Engineering with Industrial Experience BEng (Hons)

About

Good engineering alone can’t solve the complex challenges of the 21st century. Neither can design if the ideas go beyond the capabilities of today’s technology. And that’s where this course comes in.

Our practical programme allows you to develop strong creative design capabilities alongside engineering expertise. You won’t just apply your knowledge to solve problems. You’ll become a creative designer who can step back and question why a problem exists and discover users that have been overlooked.

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.

Some students progress to postgraduate study in areas like robotics. Some find their first design role. Others work in strategy or marketing. Whatever you do next, you could be the person who solves problems faced by communities around the globe.

Professional recognition

The BEng (Hons) Design, Innovation and Creative Engineering programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers as partially meeting the academic requirement for Chartered Engineer (CEng).

The BEng (Hons) Design, Innovation and Creative Engineering programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers as fully meeting the academic requirement for Registered Product Designer.

This degree has been accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
