Industrial Design (master)

## About the programme Design is a key competitive tool in the marketplace. Form, design, and function often determine the choice of one product over another. As user demands increase, so does the need for skilled product designers, making you highly valued by future employers. This programme is tailored for engineering graduates who want to add a design perspective to their technical skills and become industrial designers. If you are passionate about creating new products and improving existing ones, this is the programme for you. ### From form and function to innovation and sustainability With a focus on both form and function, the programme gives you a comprehensive understanding of the entire product development process. You will learn to visualise and evaluate concepts using advanced design tools and prototyping techniques, ensuring your designs are not only innovative but also practical and manufacturable. Throughout the programme, you’ll work on a range of projects and assignments that give you hands-on experience in different stages of industrial design, such as sketching, surface modelling, and rendering. You’ll also explore the digital aspects of product design through a course in user experience (UX) design, allowing you to understand how digital interfaces impact physical products. The programme emphasises sustainability and material selection, equipping you with the knowledge to create functional, user-centred, and environmentally responsible products. By collaborating with leading companies and working on real-world design projects, you will gain valuable experience and expand your professional portfolio. The programme places a strong emphasis on training industrial designers who can create products that are visually appealing, user-friendly, and socially sustainable. ### Your future career After completing the programme, you’ll be qualified for roles as an industrial designer or design engineer. You’ll be able to analyze and optimize product designs to ensure they are producible with conventional techniques, meet user needs, and maintain strong aesthetic appeal. You will also be eligible to apply to the PhD programme at JTH, as well as many other PhD programmes worldwide.
