Bachelor of Design
University of New South Wales - Sydney - Paddington
Overview
The UNSW Bachelor of Design is a three-year degree that focuses on the many ways design responds to historical, social and cultural values, how this can influence the future.
Whether you are challenging the conventional ways materials, processes or technologies are used, or you are finding new solutions to old problems, this degree will provide you with the right skills for a career across a range of established and emerging fields of design.
Not only will you learn how to combine creativity and independent thinking with practical and technical skills, you will discover a career that allows you to have a real and meaningful impact, each and every day.
Key features
- Three specialisations: Build a unique combination of skills from three distinct specialisations. Most of the courses will focus on your choice of Integrated, Industrial or Computational design – but there's flexibility to explore each. Or, you might prefer a secondary focus such as graphic design or robotic fabrication.
- Real work experience: What happens when you combine professional development, specialist facilities and industry-standard technologies with experienced, well-connected design educators? Your career begins before you even graduate. This degree includes industry experiences such as internships, work placements, studio projects and industry networking opportunities.
- World-class technologies: Bring your ideas to life in state-of-the-art facilities with support from our technicians. Discover the Design Futures Lab, The Making Centre, fully equipped creative workshops, and digital studios across our Kensington and Paddington campuses.
