Programme Type: Undergraduate
Course Overview
UC is leading the way with its multidisciplinary Bachelor of Product Design. Product Design combines creative design, science, engineering, and business studies. Product designers plan and develop items for use in homes, businesses, and industry.
Everyday products, such as microwave ovens, bicycles, mobile phones, and automated espresso coffee machines, both resolve a need or problem and inspire a craving within a consumer. By specialising in Industrial Product Design, you get to learn how to create useful products which incorporate fundamental elements found in successful modern-day designs: a scientific or engineering principle and an appealing aesthetic.
