Turning a passion for design into a reality
Thom Port’s Tassie-made furniture creations have featured in business from Hobart's cafe scene to one of Tasmania’s leading boutique hotels.
This degree offers you the skills, knowledge and experience to meet these challenges head on, through a wide variety of design mediums. A foundation of design thinking teaches you the language and processes of design; the conceptual, experimental and critical skills vital for any design career.
This is combined with extensive design studio and design practice experiences throughout your degree. Each design studio focuses on a unique real-world problem where you develop, test, refine and apply your design skills using a range of technologies and techniques in collaboration with designers and local community and industry partners.
The highly flexible degree also allows you to customise your learning with a choice of specialised skills across Business Design, Communication Design, Digital Design, Object Design and Spatial Design.
These experiences will lead to you to become a flexible, adaptive designer, ready to meet the challenges of the ever-evolving design industry, in whatever direction your passion takes you.
