This honours degree is where aspiring designers develop the skills to invent, visualize and prototype design solutions to solve complex problems. From the air-powered 'O2 Pursuit' motorcycle to the design of an open-source prosthetic fabrication laboratory, RMIT is at the forefront of contemporary industrial design. Throughout your studies you’ll explore the contemporary industrial design practice and undertake practical learning in design visualization and communication design thinking; and the material and technological constructs of industrial design. For over 60 years industrial design at RMIT has offered aspiring designers technical, theoretical and applied immersions into the diverse and dynamic fields of industrial design practice. Working on real-world problems, in industry and community contexts, with direction and feedback from experts, the program culminates in a year-long honours design research project. You will explore through design practice: commercial and aesthetically-focused approaches to product, transportation and furniture design the design of sustainable products, services and systems technologically and materially mediated interactions and experiences design as a mechanism for enabling social reform and cultural enrichment the possibilities of form, process and material in response to rapid technological advances the increasingly blurred intersections of our digital and material worlds design as a way to address the needs of clients, user groups and communities Your studies are centered on learning through design studios. Design studios provide a unique way of exploring ideas by challenging future designers and modelling the best practice of local and global design firms. You'll learn from local and international design practitioners and build your industry networks throughout your studies. International student visa holders can only study full-time. Career Graduates work in a broad range of contexts and settings relevant to new enterprise development, design innovation and the development of contemporary cities. They can find work in product and manufacturing companies; in the consultancy, entertainment, education, cultural and services sectors; and for research institutions. Cross-disciplinary designers work in emerging fields of design practice; others start and run their own design or product-producing businesses. The program prepares graduates to undertake Masters by Research or PhD after successful completion of their bachelor honours program. Further study When you successfully complete this program, you may be eligible for entry into an RMIT postgraduate program or RMIT Masters by Research or Doctoral (PhD) program.
