Graduates of the Product Design Engineering BEng will be well prepared for a wide range of careers across the creative, engineering, digital and technology sectors. The course develops a strong combination of technical engineering knowledge, creative design thinking, digital skills and practical problem-solving ability, allowing graduates to work on the design and development of innovative, user-focused products and systems.

Typical career routes may include roles such as Product Design Engineer, Product Designer, Computer-Aided Design Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Design Engineer, UX/UI Designer, Innovation Engineer, Prototyping Engineer, Human-Centred Design Specialist, Assistive Technology Designer, Robotics Product Developer, Smart Product Designer, Wearable Technology Developer, Medical and E-health Product Designer, Sustainability Design Engineer, Digital Fabrication Specialist, and Technology Consultant.

Graduates may find opportunities in sectors such as consumer electronics, healthcare technology, assistive technology, robotics, smart devices, sports equipment, gaming products, sustainable product development, manufacturing, digital design, start-ups, research and development, and creative technology industries.

The course also supports students who wish to develop their own product ideas or launch a business, particularly in areas such as smart products, app-connected devices, inclusive design, sustainable technologies and digital innovation. Through practical projects, collaborative work and the final-year major project, students will build a portfolio that demonstrates their ability to take ideas from concept through to prototype and evaluation.

Graduates will also be well placed to continue into further academic study, including an MSc, PhD or specialist professional training in areas such as product design engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, user experience design, biomedical engineering, sustainable design, innovation management or advanced manufacturing.

We currently have three locations in Holloway, Aldgate and Shoreditch. As we evolve as a University, we'll be reviewing the use of these spaces to ensure all our students have access to the facilities and study areas they need to succeed. This means the campus where this course is taught may change over time.

The experience of our students will always be our top priority and we'll notify applicants and students of any changes to their teaching location at the earliest opportunity.
