Design at Brunel is ranked 3rd in London by the Complete University Guide 2023, and 8th in the UK by QS World University Rankings by subject 2022. Our graduates are high earners – Government figures on Employment Outcomes show that Brunel Design graduates rank no 1 for graduate earnings in the UK.*
Design at Brunel is all about realising fantastic ideas in the real world. Our Industrial Design BA/MDes Degree suits creative and practical thinkers who prefer to learn through building and evaluating project-based challenges, with a technological understanding and less theory and quantitative analysis. The programme is available as a 3 year BA or a four year MDes, which is a Master’s degree.
There is a lot of project-based learning to test your skills on all aspects of the design process, from contextual design ideas to realising your concept in the form of a product prototype. This means you’ll be able to build a great portfolio of your best-quality projects, academic and industry briefs, and case studies, during your studies.
