With so many amazing resources on the web for product designers I thought I would start to build my own list on here.

If there are any websites that you have stumbled across that you think are missing, please contact me and I will add them.

Bournemouth University (School of Design, Engineering and Computing)

Great location, people and teaching, I really enjoyed my short time undertaking my masters at Bournemouth University.


University of Portsmouth (Mechanical & Design Engineering)

http://www.port.ac.uk/departments/academic/mde/

Like my time at Bournemouth, I really enjoyed pursing my degree and Portsmouth University. One of the reasons why I decided to study here was its good relationship with the college I was studying at the time, the progression from my engineering GNVQ to a product design degree seemed a good choice and happily it turned out that way.
