What will I learn in the first year ? The first year is at Level 4 (Foundation and Orientation). Your first year establishes a basic range of knowledge and skills from which more advanced creative, technical and conceptual abilities will develop. On successful completion of Level 4 you’ll have gained the required 120 credits by passing the following modules: Design Projects 1: Form and Function 40 credits The product designer is concerned with the form of a product constrained by materials, manufacture, ergonomics and visual criteria underpinned by knowledge of a range of contextual factors. This module introduces creative and imaginative approaches to problem solving. It covers the core skills required to create and convert ideas into forms that other people can understand. . Design Projects 2: Consumer Products 40 credits This module introduces product development techniques and creative principles as part of a consumer-led approach to design. You’ll learn about how to bring to the market any consumer product, brand or service. You’ll begin to integrate marketing and research principles into your design project work through a series of progressively more complex projects. You’ll also have the opportunity to prototype and test aspects of your design development work. Manufacturing and Materials 1 20 credits The module is designed to give you a basic understanding and appreciation of the manufacturing techniques used across Product Design so that you’ll be able to specify suitable materials and processes for making components or products. TRAD and CAD: Design Visualisation 20 credits The communication of information is fundamental to the design process, particularly in the form of drawings, illustrations and models. This module introduces you to the range of traditional methods and digital tools used for modelling, drawing and illustrating product design proposals. Part time students If you are enrolled as a part-time student you can undertake up to 100 credits in any one academic year over a maximum of six years.
