I've been looking into going to uni for product design for the last few years, from what I can tell:
Loughborough and Brunel are the most well-rated uni's for product design, they are both well-known in the field.
Others occasionally mentioned are Northumbria - their design for industry course as they got rid of their industrial design course.
Strathclyde - very technical orientation.
Bournemouth seems like a fun course but I don't hear anyone talking about it.

I've applied to uni this year and i've firmed loughborough with northumbria as my insurance, I went to interviews at both and I've been to a strathclyde open day.

Scottish uni's don't tend to have placements and most [people would recommend going to a uni that offers a placement year for product design.
