Program Description

The Graduate Diploma in Design is suitable for graduates wishing to extend their professional qualifications with a shorter period of study and those wishing to broaden or change directions in their professional endeavours or who have been admitted under Qualifications Rule 2.2, which allows entry with professional qualifications.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The Graduate Diploma in Design is aimed at providing graduates with the opportunity to extend and develop their theoretical, professional and practical knowledge in a range of design applications.

This program offers design professionals fresh perspectives on their practice, toward achieving a more flexible and integrated work process as well as the opportunity to experiment with new or unfamiliar technologies. This combination of design theory and technical exploration informs the designer's future contribution to an emerging international design culture.
