Design Practice is a core course restricted to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Architectural Computing.

In Design Practice, students will investigate: the moral and philosophical contexts for professional activity, professional ethics, contract law, patents, copyright and registration of designs, preparation and budgeting for a brief, production co-ordination & project management, preparation of reports and other written material, Corporate Identity, and Design Culture. Students will be introduced to the broader question of general management, design management and the importance of a design culture within an organisation, company or institution. The relationship between design management procedures and good design will be a focus.
