Welcome to your Programme
Product Designers generate concepts and
produce 3D design proposals for manufacture
that reflect current and future trends in the way
we live. They fuse creative and business skills
with an understanding of technologies and
human factors.
Product Design at Teesside has a long
tradition of educating leading designers who
now work at the top of their field in all aspects
of industry, including car design, consumer
electronics, furniture design and visualisation
for film and TV.
Your course focuses on creative ideas for
the form of products and how they relate to
consumer needs and tastes as well as their
environmental impact. You apply your creative
skills to a variety of market-led design projects
such as transportation, furniture, lighting,
consumer goods, toys, sports equipment and
packaging. You nurture your creativity and
develop the skills, knowledge and experience
needed to gain employment.
