Develop research-informed solutions and practically apply them to your design process. At Sussex, you’ll learn to create products that satisfy the needs and behaviours of people and our rapidly changing society – both now and into the future. We’ll ground you in critical design thinking and research.

This helps you develop informed solutions and produce them through responsible prototyping and manufacturing models. You’ll also design your products to fit within the circular economy – a complex systems-based model of working that is regenerative to the planet and takes sustainability to a new level. We also align the course to the Design Council’s 2025 ‘Skills for Planet Blueprint’, which outlines the essential skills necessary for professional, forward thinking designers.

Your degree prepares you for success.
