The Product Design MSc at the University of Dundee is designed for aspiring innovators seeking to shape the future of products, services, and systems. You will delve into the critical role of design thinking in driving human-centred innovation, exploring key principles, behaviours, and process models. This postgraduate degree equips you with a diverse toolkit of design-led methods and technologies, preparing you to tackle complex challenges and develop socially relevant design responses in a rapidly evolving global landscape. It is ideal for those passionate about understanding user needs and translating them into impactful design solutions.
You will engage in a dynamic learning experience, studied full-time on campus over 12 months, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application. Throughout the course, you will explore modules such as Design Thinking: Insights to Innovation, Creative Technologies, and Service Prototyping, where you will design and make concepts using platforms like Arduino and learn to iterate services through prototyping and visualisation. Your independent project will allow you to demonstrate your ability to self-manage learning and develop highly resolved prototypes, preparing you for careers in product development, service design, and innovation consultancy.
