With links to the design industry, collaboration with agencies, placement opportunities, and support to launch business start-ups, this course aims to develop the product designers of the future.

Lincoln's Product Design degree concentrates on the generation, delivery, and communication of ideas that challenge conventional thinking and open up new markets.

It aims to enable students to become skilled, creative designers, and shrewd product developers, with an understanding of target markets and consumer experiences, as well as an appreciation of how to design an object that will sell.

With strong ties to the design industry, collaboration with agencies, placement opportunities and support to launch a business, this course aims to prepare students for a career as a successful three-dimensional designer. From a theoretical perspective, students have the opportunity to study trends, brands, cultures, and ethics, as well as creative approaches to design.

Career opportunities exist in design consultancies and agencies, as well as in-house design departments. Some of our most recent graduates have progressed to roles including Packaging and Trims Designer at Joules, Assistant Design Manager at Playscheme, Junior Designer at GES – Global Experience Specialists, Senior Furniture Designer at Next, Design Accounts Manager at The Future Factory, Designer at Dunelm, and 3D and RP Designer at Hotter Shoes.

Some become freelance designers, while others have established their own design consultancies, with the help of the University’s business incubation unit, Sparkhouse.
