Bachelors of Design
The Bachelor of Design is a multi-disciplinary program that incorporates elements of business, IT, engineering, architecture and the humanities. You will develop a flexible range of skills to succeed in almost any industry – from digital communication or industrial design to spatial and human-centred design. The program offers a new perspective on design, one where you’ll challenge conventional thinking and bring a different mindset to business and societal problems. You will learn the core principles of design across six design studio courses where you will unpack the design process and apply it across many disciplines including urban farming, chronic illnesses, or social enterprises. Specialise in one or two study areas that align with your preferred career pathway and graduate with the creativity and knowledge necessary to generate and design ideas for a better, more sustainable world.
Areas of study
Anthropology • Buildings and Environments • Environment and Society • Information Environments • Innovation and Entrepreneurship • Media and Digital Cultures
