Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something. Im interested in taking the course below:

http://www.surrey.ac.uk/entre/structure.htm

Ive read through the structure and was wandering if anyone would be kind enough to tell me if it is possible to become an industrial designer/product designer after taking this course.

Thanks you for taking the time to read this.

yours gratefully

Matt

I don’t even think that the “Principles of Design” is close to what you need, and it seems to be the only item that is related to design there. I say it may make you a designer, but probably not a regular ID designer. I don’t even know what this course is catered for.

I’d stay away from that one.

If you have to ask, i think you know the answer.

This looks like a course in business, or to learn to start your own business. There is nothing there about the design process, and definately nothing there that’s going to teach you the core design skills. If your intent is to become an Industrial Designer, stay away from this course. After you get a degree in ID and you want to start your own business then this kind of course might be for you.
