About this programme
Do you want to make a difference in the world by designing products and services that people love? The future requires a multidisciplinary approach. Tomorrow's successful innovators will be people who can skilfully combine science, art, engineering, the humanities, business and enterprise skillsets to develop groundbreaking products and services that drive positive change. These problem-solvers will be team players who employ a breadth of skills and qualities and work across specialisations, cultures and industries.This unique programme at the University of Bristol combines in-depth subject expertise with practice-based learning delivered by the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship's award-winning teaching team. You will grow your design knowledge through the study of multidisciplinary innovation methods, including user-centred design, ethnographic research, idea visualisation, interaction design, cognitive psychology, human factors, data analysis, and design leadership.With a strong emphasis on experiential learning, you will apply these skills to real-world projects tailored to your interests and career aspirations, growing a moment of inspiration into viable plans for both social and commercial enterprises. Graduates of this programme will also be well-prepared for postgraduate study in specialist master's programmes at international universities.Collaborative group work is a core component of our learning approach. You will partner with students from other innovation disciplines, such as film and television, anthropology and computer science, building on each other's ideas and combining knowledge to develop novel solutions. This approach mirrors that of innovation teams to build in-demand professional skills in how to communicate, deliver actionable results and give value to your unique interests and contributions.By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning personal entrepreneurial ventures. You will have learned how to assess the potential of products and services and sustain new enterprises, including securing funding. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you throughout your journey.For more information visit the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.This course will mainly be taught at our cutting-edge Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, where enhanced links with businesses will provide you with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate.
