Product Design degrees in Clearing at UCA
At UCA, your studio sits right next door to the workshop and you’ll move constantly between designing and making, testing ideas physically within minutes of having them. Laser cutting, CNC milling, wood, metal, plastics, casting, 3D printing – it's all here, and it's yours to use.
In the second year of the UCA Product Design degree, your projects shift from personal exploration to professional application. Working with UN Sustainability Goals, live competition briefs, and industry partners, you'll learn to apply your design thinking to problems that can make a difference to the world.
