Product Design

About this course

Product design at degree level explores the relationship between technology, society, and creative practice, asking how designed objects and systems can improve life, contribute to a more sustainable world, and embody the values of the communities that use them. It is a discipline that requires both creative vision and technical rigour: a product must not only be conceived well but made to work, to be manufacturable, to be safe, and to satisfy the needs of real people in real contexts. Product designers operate at the meeting point of art, engineering, and social science. At Glasgow School of Art this four-year full-time programme, offered within the School of Innovation and Technology, provides a unique and holistic overview of design's role in future society. You will develop a diverse skill set and a thorough understanding of design's evolving role as the creative and strategic link
