Product Design and Technology (with Foundation Year) BSc (Hons) / MDes

The foundation of your future There’s more than one way into a product design career. If you don’t meet the entry requirements for a degree course, but have the experience, maturity and determination to work in the sector, then this course is for you. This foundation year isn’t a freestanding degree - but it’s the perfect preparation for one. Think of it as the first year in a four-year period of studying that will lead to a Product Design and Technology undergraduate degree programme at LSBU (upon successful completion of the foundation year). If you study the MDes programme, you will take an additional year of study on top of the three or four year BSc (Hons) programme. You will elevate your expertise to Chartered Technological Product Designer level, mastering advanced insights into global design challenges and emerging technologies. With a focus on impactful, human-centered solutions, you will gain essential research skills and collaborate on an interdisciplinary project, applying your knowledge to shape the future of design.
