课程特征 Course Features
The information on this page relates to the 5 design programme:
•Industrial Design
•User-Centred Product Design
•Sustainable Product Design
•Virtual Product Design
•Product Design in Business
These programmes offer five named routes designed to improve the effectiveness of designers within industry and to enable both recent design graduates and current practitioners of design to advance their core knowledge and specialist skills to a higher level. These programmes aim to develop further students’ critical awareness of major issues in design practice, hence increasing their value to current and potential employers. They will develop students’ skills in producing (both manually and through computer aided design) a balanced portfolio of high quality product designs and will enable them to deal with complex and inter-related issues both analytically and creatively. The flexibility and range of choice in the modules offered enables students to develop skills and competencies in the creative and/or analytical aspects of industrial design. It is the balance and focus of these skills and competencies that characterise the different named programmes. The programmes can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.
