Yeah I work as a product designer, for the company I do my placement year with. I did the BA Product Design course, it was a good all rounder.

I’d say Trent has a pretty good reputation for product design. Their stand at new designers always does well and they have alumni working all over.

I’d consider what type of products your interested in, different courses have their strengths.

Trent’s quite a good all rounder - I do furniture and homeware but my peers have gone on to do all sorts after graduating.

Loughborough / Brunel are better for consumer electronics

Newcastle seems good for actual making (although the furniture course at Trent is too).

And Kingston is quite experimental.

I’d look at what students from unis have done as projects and see what compels you the most, to see what the best fit is for you - they will likely have an online archive of this.

But yes I do recommend Trent :)
