About Product Design, BA (Hons) - at Sheffield Hallam University

Product design is a creative discipline which combines art and technology to improve our daily lives, protect our health and create new opportunities for industry. This course produces imaginative design ideas and solutions for small and large scale industrial production. You learn to develop designs that are * exciting * original * attractive * usable * functional * rational * manufacturable * affordable. A clear understanding of social, market, technological and materials-based trends, and developments in consumer and industrial products, will influence your work. You learn to understand what products mean to users, and you gain professional research, development and design skills, which allow you to communicate workable, imaginative and effective design solutions. During your first two years you take part in sponsored live projects, where you work with internationally known companies. In your final year, we encourage you to use this experience to get support from industrial sponsors. During the course, you build a portfolio of work to start your career. All students attend a selection event with a portfolio of work to demonstrate their ability.
