Hey - what are we about?
Product Design at the University of Dundee makes products that work. Products that work in a social way and products that work through digital technology. We think the world can be made so much better by integrating digital technology into our lives in a natural, playful and sustainable way. What to find out more - sneak over to here
We're a research based programme of educating undergraduate, masters and PhD students - and when I say educate... rather, we work with our students to explore their potential as designers in the digital world.
Here's some great examples of what our students are working on right now
