Bachelor of Science in Product Design and Technology

University of Limerick

Product design is the process of creating, developing, and refining products and systems to solve problems, enhance quality of life and address local and global challenges. Through human-centred design practice our students design, develop and prove their innovative solutions in a real-world context with real people, ensuring they seamlessly integrate into daily routines. Responsible, impactful design is foundational to the product design process, and our students ensure their solutions are useful whilst adhering to sustainable best practice.Product Design & Technology focuses on exploration and experimentation to develop critical thinking, where our students will learn to identify opportunities and innovate impactful solutions that seamlessly blend form and function, enriching the quality of lives around us. Our design projects take advantage of our strong links with industry and community partners, giving our students a taste of professional design practice. Our industrial placement in Year 3 gives our students real-world design experience, equipping them with necessary skills and expertise to launch their careers upon graduation. Or students can, instead, have an opportunity to study abroad through our extensive network of academic partners across Europe, India and the US.
