The School of Design programs are about creativity for purpose - educating students to be design leaders who address real-world challenges through balancing high levels of creativity and technical capability with contextual insight and empathy for people. The curriculum provides a platform for students to conceptualise and validate ideas by canvassing, provoking, challenging and questioning people, places, things and systems. Through team and individual projects involving external partners and tutored by practising designers and design researchers, students determine their own design culture whilst building a portfolio of work that will locate them in their desired professional context. Graduates are creative catalysts and visionaries who go on to become leaders in their respective fields.

The school offers B. Des (4 years) and M.Des (2 years) programs, which prepares the learners with technical skills through the completion of hands-on, practical work alongside presentation and pitching skills, and knowledge of the conceptual design process.
