Design & Innovation
Design and innovation is all around us, in everything from the latest fashions to cutting-edge technological equipment. Through OU study, you can gain a unique insight into the many branches of design – the case studies featured in our courses will take you from chair design to roller-coasters and beyond. You don’t need to have a technical background and the skills you’ll gain will be useful in a wide range of professions.
You’ll combine academic study with practical ideas to develop the creative and logical thinking that successful designing demands. This will involve learning about the important elements of good design: designing for people, designing for manufacture and designing for the environment. You’ll also be prompted to think about how design could lead to a more sustainable future.
