The value of design Industries can no longer compete on costs. The value-add for organisations and their consumers must be based around design-led innovation. This means a more human-centred approach to solving problems and improving products, services and environments. Good design provides opportunities to develop new products, expand new markets and create an innovative, competitive economy.

What universities look for in design students Design is no longer an ‘artistic pursuit’. Design, art and visual skills help but are a narrow indicator of success in design. It is a serious industry that requires all-round intellectual capability and leadership. It requires people who are visionary and want to change the world through better environments, products, communications, systems and services. It requires people who have empathy with people, who can understand complex problems and find unique ways to solve them. It requires good all round communication skills and people who can work across disciplinary boundaries.
