Nottingham Trent University's 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 students to strengthen their technological and manufacturing skills, students will develop a comprehensive appreciation of the principles and techniques that underpin advanced design solutions.
Through contemporary research and industry-applied briefs and projects, students will 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 students with the tools, knowledge and critical thinking to drive process and practice in the commercial world.
This course, and the associated support provided by the University, will enable graduates to develop advanced design, technological and manufacturing skills, enabling them to start their own business, work within the manufacturing industry, design consultancies, research and development organisations, or to progress to further study by engaging in research.
With a strong studio-based culture, the MSc Design course will provide students with the principles and techniques necessary for developing advanced product design and technological solutions to a range of practical problems. Utilising state-of-the-art laboratories and prototyping workshops, computer suites and dedicated design studios, students will develop enhanced skills of imagination, creativity, enterprise, leadership, team building and communication.
This course is dual-accredited by the Chartered Society of Designers (CSD) and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), recognising the quality and relevance of the course content, and allowing students to gain student membership before progressing after graduation.
