A world of opportunity for the digital creative
Ravensbourne University London’s four-year Product Design course, including an Integrated Foundation Year (IFY), nurtures your ability to think creatively, work experimentally and design solutions that respond to human needs. The IFY introduces you to essential design concepts and making processes, allowing you to explore materials, form, function and hybrid physical-digital experiences before specialising.
Throughout the course, you’ll build a strong foundation in research, sketching, model-making, 3D design, prototyping and testing. You’ll learn to generate ideas, refine concepts and bring products to life through hands-on experimentation and industry-focused project work.
Working alongside peers from other creative disciplines, you’ll gain the confidence to tackle real-world problems and design innovative objects, systems and services. By graduation, you’ll have a robust portfolio showcasing your technical capability, design craft and ability to shape thoughtful products for the future.
