Product Design Projects and Show

Product Design at Sussex is an exciting and progressive degree that focuses on adapting and shaping technology into useful products for real human and societal needs.

Our students do placements with companies such as Rolls Royce, Black+Decker, IBM and Dyson. Our graduates work for small and big companies such Black+Decker, Amazon, Cicero/AMOThe Big Picture, Apidura and Astra Technologies; or go on to found their own businesses, such as MarinaTex and the Intrepid Camera.


Every year, the product design students put together a degree show to exhibit their final year projects to the public, trade professionals, potential employers and the media. Showcasing the work of students is essential to their future careers. We support their participation to international and national competitions, such as New Designers. the Dyson Award and the Global Grad Show.
