Programme Overview

Product Design Engineering or "PDE" brings together two cultures - the studio and creative environment of one of Europe's leading art schools - the GSA and the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow - a world top 100 university (QS World Ranking). If you can imagine bringing together your academic and creative abilities to design exciting and innovative products, then Product Design Engineering is the career path for you. PDE offer you a unique opportunity to gaining a Master of Engineering (MEng) or Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) with honours and a foundation for a career as a product design engineer. Students are introduced to industry through live projects and visits and the final year involves an individual major project that can be in collaboration with industry. Contextual studies relating to project work include entrepreneurial, technology, human factors, ethical and societal considerations. PDE is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Technology and the Institute of Engineering Designers to allow Chartered Engineer status - an excellent springboard for industry, consultancy, or higher degrees. All GSA degree programmes are validated by the University of Glasgow.
