About Industrial Design: Product & Transport in Staffordshire University

Our Transport Design pathway is perfect if you want to focus on concepts for autonomous vehicles, supercars, sustainable mass-transit and motorcycles.

The course is designed to mirror industry practice with students working alongside companies on live projects, often resulting in placement opportunities. Our students work with companies such as JCB, Jaguar Land Rover, Westbridge Furniture, Bombardier, Halfords, Michelin, and Evoke Creative, whose client list includes McDonalds, Google and JD Sports.

Our teaching staff are highly experienced and our students also benefit from weekly visits by associate lecturers. They share their inside knowledge of working as designers in what is an ever-changing industry.

Add consultancy visits to London and New York and, whether you plan to work in the product or transport industry, or as an independent consultant, we’ll provide ample opportunities for you to acquire the skills necessary for success.

By choosing the placement route, you will have the opportunity to spend a year in industry working at a selected company. You will be able to develop your skills, knowledge and experience as part of your degree and return to the third year feeling even more confident about tackling your negotiated major project.
