Why products design

Product design, also known as industrial design, combines the knowledge of design, engineering, and manufacturing processes to create functional products. It may contain tests in order to determine whether their products meet all requirements.

It's important to gain some relevant work experience to build your portfolio and establish a useful network of contacts. Look for an industrial designer in your area and ask if you can complete a placement with them during your university studies. In some cases, a placement could even lead to a permanent job.

Look out for product or industrial design competitions that you could enter, or exhibitions that you could take part in. Anything that can add to your portfolio will be helpful. You will need to be able to demonstrate the breadth of your work and any specialist interests. Keep up to date with industry trends and developments by reading design journals to find out about new technology.
