What will I learn?

The Graduate Diploma in Design is an opportunity for people who have already completed a degree to add an additional subject area to their learning. You’ll be studying with other design students in courses at 200, 300 and 400 level across any of the six majors: fashion design, industrial design, photography, spatial design, textile design or visual communication design. In studio classes you’ll be immersed in hands-on doing and making as well as discussion and debate. You’ll hone your creative problem-solving and critical thinking abilities, and develop specialist design capabilities at an advanced level.
