Bachelor of Design

This degree invites you to take part in the redefinition of what design means for Tasmania. Our goal is to embed design within the working fabric of the state, to realise a design-led Tasmania. We believe that design expands beyond objects and interfaces, to interactions and systems.

With renowned designers, creative people, inspiring places and events on your doorstep, Tasmania is the ideal place to study design.

Design permeates every aspect of our lives, we embrace the complexity that it entails. Our design courses will expand your understanding of the world as you learn how to create positive impacts through design. Discover how to inspire others to tell their stories, learn to visualise complex information and data, undertake research and prototyping to meet community needs, or design events and experiences that inspire those around you.

The Bachelor of Design offers the greatest flexibility, with the opportunity to take up to three complete design streams, a second major from another discipline, or even a double degree.

Core Design Studio units emphasise hands-on learning through collaboration with peers, designers and external stakeholders and the creative development and application of knowledge and skills from your selected design streams in a variety of contexts and project briefs.

Combined with design thinking, visualisation and knowledge of design history and ethics, and the opportunity to develop your own projects in the final year, you will graduate with transferable skills that open diverse career pathways in a huge range of industries. The Bachelor of Design also offers a pathway to post-graduate study through Honours and PhD.
