Bachelor of Design - Graphic Design for Marketing

Our innovative curriculum includes a broad range of project work, including: Web and integrated media design, Information and publication design, Packaging and display design, Corporate communications, branding and advertising design, UX/UI research, prototyping and design. Project work challenges you to conceptualize, experiment, and innovate to create designs that solve problems. You’ll also fine-tune your research and writing skills to create design briefs, write reports, and produce research studies. The end result will be a market-ready portfolio. Our cohorts of 22 students per year ensure that you’ll receive one-on-one attention from your instructors in a supportive and collaborative environment. In our studios, you'll use the same tools as graphic design professionals, including large-scale colour plotters, laser cutters, 3D printers, and a maker's workshop.
