On Campus

  • Study a design course that intersects with diverse fields, such as bioengineering, artificial intelligence, systems modelling, smart cities, health, sports and exercise science, and cancer prevention.
  • The option to add one year of international study to your degree with the Bachelor of Design (International).
  • Be prepared for the emergence of new design careers.


Flexible course options

In the Bachelor of Design you will choose one of four majors. You then have flexibility to study a range of minors and either additional specialisation units or electives.  
If you want to be up to date with the design trends emerging in another country, the Bachelor of Design - International may be for you. This degree combines the three-year Bachelor of Design with one year of international studies, giving you all of the outcomes of the standard degree including your choice of majors, plus the advantages of a flexible year of international studies.

What you’ll study
Your Bachelor of Design will begin with Design Impact Labs where you will begin to conceptualise and negotiate how you, as a designer, can address the challenges that demand multi-faceted solutions and responses to diverse  situational stakeholders and/or social agendas. Through collaboration with students from other disciplines, you’ll focus on problems and social issues, identifying potential solutions connected to industry and community stakeholders. The labs are a great way to engage with your fellow students.

Double degrees
QUT offers a range of new double degree options that give you greater career flexibility and provide an edge in a highly competitive design industry. Options include combining visual communication with business or psychology; fashion design with business; industrial design with business or engineering; or interaction design with business, engineering or IT.
