Design Engineering BEng(Hons)

The BEng (Hons) Design Engineering at the University of Brighton is a creative and industry-focused engineering degree that combines engineering principles with product design, innovation, and modern manufacturing techniques. The programme is designed to develop engineers who can design, develop, and deliver practical solutions to real-world problems across industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, consumer products, and digital technologies.Students gain a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, including mathematics, materials science, mechanics, computer-aided design (CAD), and manufacturing processes. Alongside this, they develop specialist skills in product design, prototyping, engineering design thinking, systems design, and user-centred innovation.A key feature of the course is its emphasis on creativity and practical application. Students work on design projects from concept to prototype, learning how to transform ideas into functional, manufacturable products. They use industry-standard tools and technologies such as CAD software, 3D modelling, simulation tools, and rapid prototyping equipment.
