MSc Integrated Product Design

In order to cope with the economic, social and environmental challenges we are facing nowadays, designers need to innovate beyond individual products and conceive systemic solutions blending physical and digital products, services, spaces and communication. Our MSc IPD degree focuses on the design of these innovative integrated solutions. In pursuing this, we emphasise the balance between the interest of users, industry, society and the environment. We cover the whole design process, integrating all aspects relevant to the development of these systemic solutions: human needs, sustainability, technology, aesthetics, management, marketing, business and design methods. This programme is delivered by a cross-disciplinary lecturing team enhanced by design and branding professionals. Live briefs from small, medium and large enterprises from our industry collaborative partners are integrated in our modules and play a pivotal role in the learning experience. Our MSc programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and is studied full-time over one year. As a result, we produce highly qualified and sought after designers who are employed in companies ranging from design consultancies, research and development departments to research institutions and government bodies.
