I’m proud that Brunel Design School has been recognised as one of the best places in the world to study and research design. Design for Sustainability, Inclusive Design, Digital Media and Creative Computing, and Additive Manufacturing and 4D printing represent our research groups. You will be taught by some of the world leading researchers, as well as practitioners with ample industrial experience.
