At Sussex, you’ll learn to create products that satisfy the needs and behaviours of people and society – both now and into the future.

During your studies, you’ll:

• be taught by design experts with industry experience, combining multifaceted design, science and technology
• work with industry professionals on live creative briefs that will challenge you
• have opportunities and guidance on how to commercialise your products.

We’ll ground you in design thinking so you can develop informed solutions and produce them through prototyping and manufacturing models. You’ll also design your products to fit within the circular economy – a complex system that is regenerative and takes sustainability to a new level.

Your degree prepares you for success. Our students have:

• won awards from design leaders such as Dyson, LEGO and Hasbro
• taken their own designs to market through the Sussex Innovation Centre.

Your Product Design degree prepares you for jobs in manufacturing, consultancy-based design and the creative industries (graphics, marketing, research and digital design). You can work in a variety of roles, including as:

• an industrial, packaging or furniture designer
• a UX (user experience) designer and 3D visualiser
• a design engineer or product developer.
