Additional Information

Careers
As a design engineer, you can be involved in almost every aspect of the product journey, from the initial concept, design, development, testing and management of projects to the manufacturing. Product design engineers use technical knowledge, mathematical problem-solving skills and a passion for designing and refining the usability of luxury to everyday items, across a diverse range of industries.

Roles may have responsibilities such as:

• Concept, specification, tender and development of new projects or components
• CAD, CAM systems to design and visualise projects to clients or internally within teams
• Model making, prototyping and product testing
• Analysis of how to improve existing products, including complex calculations
• Leadership including effective communication with clients, colleagues, contractors and managing other team members
• Project management including ensuring projects are delivered to a timescale, to standard and within a budget

Work experience is highly desirable for graduates applying within the product design industry, to best demonstrate their team working abilities, skills and portfolio breadth. Our students truly benefit from the industrial group project which is integrated into their degree, to provide them with this necessary experience to stand out when competing for graduate jobs. Furthermore, many of our students gain placements and internships throughout their studies to advance their professional development ahead of graduation.

Companies return year-on-year to recruit from our department, and specifically, companies such as Chivas Regal, Adidas, Rolls Royce, Dyson and Jaguar Land Rover have our graduates covering a plethora of roles across their teams. Some of our graduates go on to graduate trainee programmes with companies such as Diageo, Accenture, Unilever and Procter & Gamble.
