Master of Design

The Master of Design (MDes) is an exploration of 21st century creative practices suited to current or emerging designers who wish to become design leaders with social design skills. It provides a suite of courses to equip emerging designers with the necessary skills and existing designers with concepts, strategies, and technologies to solve real-life, complex problems while prioritising ethical and sustainable practices. This includes respecting First Nations cultures and perspectives, and embracing principles of environmental stewardship. The program offers students the opportunity to advance their skills and knowledge in multiple areas including strategic visual communication, experience and interaction design as well as leadership and social design. These courses are complimented by a range of practical/making courses and exposure to industry leaders through a lecture series.
