Design Studies
Design Studies transforms students into agents of change.
Through rigorous academic and applied development of their design skillset and mindset, our students are shaped into future leaders and visionaries who will be able to develop the necessary skills to innovate across all spheres of design. Whether artefact, product and service, strategy and governance, or systemic design, our students will have the opportunity to undertake an experiential learning journey into complexity, whilst defining their own specialism by testing different paradigms of scholarship and practice.
