The BA (Hons) Product Design degree at the University of Lincoln has been developed with people’s needs at the fore, concentrating on the generation, delivery and communication of ideas that challenge conventional thinking and open up new markets. Students will be provided with the opportunity to become highly skilled, creative designers and shrewd product developers, with an understanding of target markets and consumer experiences, and an appreciation of how to design an object that will sell. With strong ties to the design industry, collaboration with agencies, placement opportunities and support to launch a business, this course aims to prepare students for a career as a successful product designer. From a theoretical perspective, students have the opportunity to study trends, brands, cultures and ethics, as well as creative approaches to design.

In the first year, students have the opportunity to develop a thorough understanding of product design based on technical skills acquisition — from nurturing an idea to following a client brief and producing prototypes in 3D form. Design development practice continues in the second year, covering topics such as sensory design and visual language. In the final year of the degree, there are both live and independent projects alongside a dissertation on a design topic of the students choice. Students are expected to exhibit work in an end of year show, largely within the School itself and at a industry event, which is attended by members of the design and production industry and the general public.

The way students will be assessed on this course will vary for each module. It could include coursework, such as a dissertation or essay, written and practical exams, portfolio development, group work or presentations to name some examples. Throughout this degree, students may receive tuition from professors, senior lecturers, lecturers, researchers, practitioners, visiting experts or technicians, and they may be supported in their learning by other students.

For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs. With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost. Students on this course have the option to undertake external visits, which can range in cost from £300 - £1000, dependant on the destination. The participation in these trips will have no impact upon your final award and savings and contribution plans are put in place for these. Students are also invited to participate in an optional graduate exhibition event and to make a £200 (approx) contribution, which is financially supported by both the programme and by the School of Architecture and Design. Contributions help students to attend a graduate event with designers, employers and manufacturers present; the school and programme make a major contribution to the stand, the production, prototyping, materials costs, image costs.
