Core modules
Year One
Our first year modules are designed to introduce you to a broad array of design disciplines. Taking these modules gives you an opportunity to experiment as you gain a broad understanding of design disciplines. This is why we refer to you at this stage of learning as the 'Pluralist Student' - these modules provide the foundation upon which innovation is built.
Design in Context
Explores the diverse theories and practices of designing, the designed world, the impact of design on people, and the challenges and ambitions that motivate designing. You will examine the contextual backdrop to the formation of design as discourse, practice and profession, question the globalisation of design, the similarities and differences between different forms of designing, design professions, and everyday designing. You will develop critical and creative capabilities for responding to the designed world. You will learn from experience and practice, from visiting diverse locations, and encountering innovative designs and designers who have worked on national and international projects.

Introduction to Design Practice
Explores design practice from holistic and reductionist perspectives, their relationship and critiques, and discovers diverse forms of thinking and making in design. You will explore design as a multi-disciplinary endeavour through considerations of impact on personal practice and methodologies, social and life-centred design as well as systemic design. This module challenges you to consider design practices from the artefact to the system level and gain an understanding of positionality of design and innovation on a micro, meso and macro level.
You will explore how design has impacted the world, solved and created problems and how design processes evolve to respond to the world's ever more complex challenges. This is done through collaborative and individual design challenges which will allow you to explore and test diverse and inventive methods to design and system thinking. You will undertake a journey of unlearning, experimenting, play and curiosity. This is a studio module which manoeuvres you into designerly ways of thinking, making and knowing.
