The Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Professional Design is a three-year honours degree designed to progressively develop a student’s creative potential in conceptualising and innovative technical skills as they progress. In the first two years, students will acquire the necessary fundamental knowledge and skills of a graphic designer with direct exposure to the industry in the areas of corporate communications, multimedia and illustration. In the second half of Year 2, students will gain eleven weeks of practical industry experience.
In the final year, students will specialise and develop deeper knowledge in an area of their choice, which includes advertising and multimedia with supporting subjects in animation, web technology and marketing. Equipped with entrepreneurship and design management knowledge, our graduates will enter into the industry with confidence to succeed. They will take on the challenge to develop their careers at a global level.
Students with a recognised Diploma in the relevant field will be given credit exemptions based on past results and portfolio review (where applicable).
