Your product design journey starts here


Congratulations! You've earned a place at one of the UK's leading schools of product design and manufacture, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you.

If you haven’t already accepted your offer, it’s time to take the next step and start shaping your future.


A world-class education with heart and ambition

Our degrees are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), meaning your qualification is recognised and respected by employers across the globe.

Excellence that matters

90% of our research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent in the latest Research Excellence Framework. This means your lectures, seminars, and assignments are built on the latest thinking and real-world insights.

You’ll be learning from experts whose work spans areas including additive manufacturing, human-centred design, and sustainable engineering.

A place to grow, learn and belong

University Park is a stunning blend of nature, history, and culture. With acres of green parkland, beautiful historic buildings, and a picturesque boating lake, it’s a truly inspiring place to live and learn.

You’ll study in dedicated facilities designed to mirror real-world design and manufacturing environments including design studios, a rapid prototyping workshop, and a Virtual Reality lab.

 

Shape your journey, your way

You’ll study a wide range of modules that span design, engineering, and manufacturing.  As you progress, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor your studies to your interests through optional modules. Whether you're drawn to the creative side of design or the technical challenges of production, you'll be supported to build a pathway that reflects your strengths and ambitions.


Learning that goes beyond the classroom

If you’ve opted for a compulsory year abroad, you could spend a year at our campuses in China or Malaysia. This experience will introduce you to new academic environments, teaching styles, and cultural viewpoints. This will broaden your intellectual horizons and develop your critical thinking.

If you've opted for a degree with a year in industry, you’ll be earning a salary while gaining hands-on experience. This is a great way to bring your course to life in an active working environment.

Come and see for yourself


Join us for an on-campus experience day and get a real feel for life at Nottingham. You’ll meet your future lecturers, chat with current students, and take part in taster sessions that bring your course to life.


This is more than a degree. It’s your future.

We’re here to support you, challenge you, and celebrate your success, every step of the way. Let’s start this journey together.

And remember, you can chat to our students on The Student Room or contact our friendly Student Enquiries team.
