Lecturers were so supportive, prepared, and approachable in all aspects of the course from the theory to the application of skills in immersion/observation, ideation, concept development and prototyping right through to validation and verification. I am now applying these skills to my everyday role as Manufacturing Engineer with DePuy Synthes. If you are unsure of what area of design you want to pursue, I could not recommend this course highly enough. It can provide you with a myriad of career opportunities and/or further study as the skills you acquire from the MSc. in Design for Health and Wellbeing are transferable across several areas.
