On this practical, hands-on course, students will gain a foundation in the creative, research, technical and analytical skills required for the specialist areas of Product Design and Model making.

You will learn how to analyse a problem and use your conclusions to create sketch ideas before developing these into physical 3D design concepts and prototypes.

Working with a broad range of materials and equipment including modelling foam, vacuum formers and laser cutters you will develop an understanding of 3D methods.

You will develop strong communication skills and learn how to produce professional presentations for your design concepts and 3D models.

By the end of the course, you will have created a portfolio of work which can be used to apply for courses in this field or others in the creative industries.
