What will I learn?

The Postgraduate Certificate in Design (PGCertDes) provides you the opportunity to align with current design practices. Whether you have previously studied design or are new to the field, the PGCertDes introduces you to advanced design concepts and positions you to contribute meaningful and high-impact solutions. Over the course of your study, you will explore the research methodologies, practices and technologies that can be applied in advanced design solutions. You’ll focus on the ways design can drive meaningful outcomes while considering the impact on society, the environment and economy. Graduates of the PGCertDes will emerge with a suite of advanced design capabilities that are increasingly sought after in the commercial and civic fields.
