MSc Design: Products and Technology embraces an extensive range of approaches to design practice – from manufacturing, computer science and advanced internet techniques, to artificial intelligence for control, robotics, project management and inclusive design. Designed for you to strengthen your technological and manufacturing skills, you'll develop a comprehensive appreciation of the principles and techniques that underpin advanced design solutions.
Through contemporary research and industry-applied briefs and projects, you'll explore the technological relationships, strategies and interfaces between the user and the product in a manufacturing context. With strong industrial relationships and input, the course ensures a rich multidisciplinary design experience, providing you with the tools, knowledge and critical thinking to drive process and practice in the commercial world.
