What will I learn?

The Master of Design is a postgraduate design degree that advances your design expertise and empowers your decision-making. You can specialise in industrial design, fashion design and textile design, communication design, digital design or spatial design, and will work on interdisciplinary design projects. You'll research a topic of your interest, and continue to develop expertise in your chosen field of design. As a postgraduate design student, you'll contribute to a vibrant, collaborative design culture. You further your creative research skills, become ethically responsible and socially aware, and explore the implications of working as a designer across cultural, social and industrial contexts.
