Program description

A Diploma of Design allows you to explore a variety of design specialties such as graphic design, digital design, video production, interior design, and fashion. It provides a foundation in the design industry over the course of one year of full-time study, with mentoring from industry professionals and collaboration with other students. A Diploma in Design gives credentials for future study or a profession in the design field.

While gaining significant design expertise and technical knowledge, you will also interact in dynamic learning environments and design studios, studying themes such as customer demands, issue solutions, and the nature of trends.

The Diploma of Design was created to provide a diverse sampling of several design specialties for those with or without a design experience. Our diverse elective courses introduce you to topics such as Branded Fashion Design, Communication Design, Digital Media Design, Interior Design, and Game Design and Development. This diploma provides full credit as a bridge into more advanced courses, allowing you to specialise and pick your path after experiencing everything the Diploma of Design has to offer.
