This is the major study of the course. There are studios at each year stage. Students take at minimum 18 credit points of electives selected from the range of subjects offered in interior architecture, industrial design, visual communications, multimedia design and the specialisation within these disciplines. The remaining 18 credit points of design electives will be determined in consultation with the course coordinator. Students study the theory, context and cultural aspects of art and design.
Students take one compulsory six-point subject in the first year.
These studies are concerned with the development of perception, communication and visual concepts primarily using drawing media. It is anticipated that many students will take further studies in the drawing studio. This will be determined by the course coordinator in consultation with the student. The core subject is provided from the faculty's common program. It is anticipated that students will take further elective studies in professional practice.
