Opportunities for progression
The collaborative nature of the Product Design Masters courses allows students to work closely with those studying other postgraduate courses. Access is also available to The Hive - a business incubator unit based on the University's City site, which facilitates the formation of companies and development of complementary product solutions. Staff can help to secure any intellectual property rights resulting from course activities.
Each of our Masters courses is designed to increase the employability of its graduates by identifying new product opportunities. Students become more strategically aware, technically literate and able to communicate concepts and outcomes of an advanced level in an ever-changing global marketplace. Recent graduates have set up their own businesses, progressed on to further postgraduate study, or secured employment in research, the manufacturing industries and consultancy.
