printed undergraduate prospectus.
Content
"This new, hybrid course draws on the disciplines
of Sport Sciences and Product Design. It is a practical,
project-based course developed to fuse biological and
physiological understanding with design skills and knowledge.
Core course material ranges from ergonomics to materials,
physiology to communication, marketing to model-making
and manufacturing. You will make practical use of well
equipped workshiops throughout the course, progressing
at Levels 2 and 3, to using rapid prototyping facilities.
Project areas will include traditional sports, extreme
and endurance, protective equipment, measuring testing
and training, simulation and interface products and medical
and rehabilitation equipment.
Career Opportunities
Our Design graduates are highly sought-after in a wide
range of environments and we have close working relationships
with many prestigious companies across Europe and beyond.
Recent employers of our graduates include Accenture,
Apple Computer, British Telecom, EuroStar, Fitch, IDEO,
Seymour Powell, IBM, Habitat, Land rover, Lego Microsoft,
Morgan Stanley, Nokia and Virgin Atlantic,
Assessment
A combination of written and multiple choice exams, lab
reports, coursework, design projects, oral presentations
and practical work.
Accreditation
It is anticipated that graduates will be eligible for
Diploma membership of the Chartered Society of Designers,
and that the course will also be accredited by the Institution
of Engineering Designers.
