Course overview

The Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication Design) encourages students to explore how, as humans, we communicate and organise information in visually accessible ways and develop a well-rounded understanding of the theory and practice of communication design.

This degree has a strong focus on visual communication in the global marketplace and how to design for both business and consumer audiences across different cultural contexts. You’ll graduate with a thorough knowledge of typography, logotype design, layout, publication design, environmental graphics, packaging and digital design. This course also investigates both a traditional print-based design perspective and one which covers web-based applications and new technologies, setting students on the path to a successful design career.

Our courses at the Faculty of Arts and Design produce graduates that are equipped with professional knowledge and skills, critical and creative thinking, excellent communication skills, ethical practice, and collegiality to ensure they are employment ready and able to reach the full potential of their career.
