The Bachelor of Design degree will give you the knowledge, skills and professional attributes you need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. You will work in a future-focused, collaborative, studio-based environment integrating key design specialisations including graphics, objects, 3D visualisation, textiles, interaction and experience design. You will build experience in established, new and emerging technologies both digital and analogue as well as develop the skills and capacity for design thinking, social innovation and entrepreneurship. The Bachelor of Design degree will provide you with a design education that is future-focused, studio-based and research-led. We produce graduates who are both versatile and adventurous. You will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and attributes you need to understand how design-led solutions assist people to perform at their best in agile and rapidly changing environments. The three-year program emphasises an understanding that design changes our societies, and is grounded in a deep reflection on diverse historical, social and cultural values. As a future designer, you will learn to combine independent thinking and creativity with practical and technical skills. We will guide and encourage you to adopt innovative approaches by challenging conventional applications of materials, systems, processes and technologies. The merging of digital and physical making, critical thinking, emerging technologies, design research, management and entrepreneurship provides you with transferrable skills for careers across a wide range of existing and emerging design fields. Studio Specialisations Throughout the Bachelor of Design, you will utilise world-class facilities, workshops and equipment to make and exhibit your work. The degree features six disciplinary studio areas from which you will choose at least two. 3D Visualisation In the 3D visualisation studio, you will delve into the computer-generated world and explore a variety of methods used to generate virtual environments. Through live, hands-on experiences, you will use key technologies such as virtual reality systems to develop a suite of design practices and skills that will enable you to contribute to a growing digital industry. Crafted Objects In the crafted object studio, you will bring together ceramic, furniture and jewellery design in an engaging exploration of materiality, form and practice. Through hands-on experiences and experimentation, you will refine your design practice and become exposed to a variety of craft and design related industries. Experience Design In the experience design studio, you will explore the way people experience and interact with space, connecting this with ideas of the body, materiality, culture and spectacle. You will learn to design spatial, time-based and atmospheric conditions that affect engagement with the built world. You become prepared to design for fields such as exhibitions, events and performing arts. Graphic Design In the graphic design studio, you will develop and build upon the fundamental skills required for the manipulation of image and type. You will engage with briefs ranging from publication design and visual identity to more complex issues of graphic design for 3D and digital spaces. Interaction Design In the interaction design studio, you will work within a future-focused discipline that is transforming modern life. You will learn to design interactive experiences associated with digital systems, products, websites, environments and services. Engaging with the practical application of concepts and theories, you will be prepared for a career in User Experience (UX), and wider interaction design.
