Product Design is a rapidly developing area of design, with new processes emerging in response to new materials, technologies, ecology issues and economic development. Product Design at Chester is a hands-on experience, set in a welcoming studio environment with ample tutor contact time and technical support. The programme places importance on developing the idea generation and experimentation through physical and digital making skills, to produce creative and imaginative design solutions. University of Chester has a playful approach to media, materials and processes within a friendly creative community, all aimed at helping students develop their individuality as they progress through the programme. On a more cerebral level, students will consider the social, economic and ethical concerns relating to the production of designed objects and user experiences. The University of Chester has excellent links with commercial product businesses such as Evoke Creative, Unilever, Zest for Leisure and Silver Lining all of which enable them to set live briefs and work alongside industry professionals. With industry standard CAD facilities and a new 3D printing suite, alongside traditional workshop facilities they are able to prototype product solutions to a professional standard.
