Product Design and Technology ( with Foundation Year)

The foundation of your future

There’s more than one way into a product design career. If you don’t meet the entry requirements for a degree course, but have the experience, maturity and determination to work in the sector, then this course is for you.

This foundation year isn’t a freestanding degree - but it’s the perfect preparation for one. Think of it as the first year in a four-year period of studying that will lead to a Product Design and Technology undergraduate degree programme at LSBU (upon successful completion of the foundation year).
