BA in Transportation Design at University of Northumbria at Newcastle UK
This programme builds on the School of Design’s long established and successful record of producing graduates for the automotive, marine, rail and aviation industries.
The programme aims to produce professional design graduates for employment in vehicle manufacturing and other transport related industries. Its work embraces design for both high and low volume production as well as that intended for prototype or custom manufacture. In addition, this degree will encompass the design of performance products for sports, recreational and entertainment activities.
The programme culminates in a major design project, which combines the range of taught practical skills and techniques with the application of academic and theoretical knowledge.
Projects vary in scope and content and require the use of design and presentation techniques ranging from sketching and illustration to 3D computer generated imagery, and CAD modelling from scale appearance models to full size working prototypes developed in our workshop facilities. Final year work is exhibited nationally and internationally.
Industrial placements, which are undertaken during the third year of study, are valuable and rewarding components to the programme since they provide the opportunity to work on real projects within a professional working environment. The programme has an enviable 100% track record in providing placements to students, most of which are based in Europe.
