School: School of Engineering, College of Science and Engineering (jointly delivered with The Glasgow School of Art). This four-year Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (BEng Hons) program provides a comprehensive education that integrates strong engineering fundamentals with creative product design principles. You will develop a deep understanding of how products are conceived, designed, engineered, and manufactured, focusing on aspects such as mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials science, statics, thermodynamics, and advanced engineering skills. The curriculum includes extensive studio-based learning, individual and group project work, and laboratory sessions, with significant time spent at both the University of Glasgow and The Glasgow School of Art. Key areas include design for manufacture, human factors, microelectronics in consumer products, and advanced materials. The program's interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, also allows for flexibility to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of Year 1. The BEng degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and is in the process of gaining reaccreditation with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, helping graduates work towards Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Career options for graduates are excellent and broad, spanning various industries that require both design innovation and engineering expertise. As a member of the UK's prestigious Russell Group and the global Universitas21 network, the University of Glasgow fosters a strong research-intensive environment and deep industry connections. Graduates are highly sought after by leading international companies and local design and engineering studios. Potential roles include: Product Design Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Industrial Designer, Design Consultant, Research and Development Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, and roles in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, medical devices, and clean energy. Recent graduates have been employed by renowned companies such as Apple, Bosch, Dell, Dyson, GlaxoSmithKline, Logitech, Jaguar Land Rover, and TomTom. Many graduates also establish their own successful design engineering consultancies. The program's strong industry links and practical focus prepare students for impactful careers.

The University of Glasgow is a member of the UK's prestigious Russell Group, signifying its commitment to world-class research and education. It is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world, boasting a rich history of academic excellence and innovation, particularly in engineering since 1840. The university is also a member of Universitas21 (U21), a global network of world-leading, research-intensive universities, which enhances its international profile and opportunities for collaboration. The Product Design Engineering program uniquely benefits from being jointly delivered by the University's School of Engineering and the renowned Glasgow School of Art, providing students with access to state-of-the-art prototyping and manufacturing facilities at both institutions and a highly interdisciplinary learning environment. The School of Engineering holds an Athena Swan Silver Award, demonstrating its commitment to diversity and an inclusive learning environment.
