BACHELOR OF DESIGN

The Bachelor of Design is built around real industry projects, not theory alone. You specialise from day one, choosing Fashion Design, Creative Direction & Styling, or Interior Design, and every trimester is structured around a client brief, a design problem to solve, and a resolved body of work you build with your design teacher. By your final trimester, you'll have developed a complete graduate body of work in your chosen specialisation: the launchpad into your design career.

FASHION DESIGN
BACHELOR OF DESIGN SPECIALISATION

Design original garments from concept to collection. Across six trimesters you'll build technical mastery in patternmaking, construction and fashion illustration, starting with a single skirt project and progressing through utility hybridisation, print development and menswear tailoring, to your own graduate collection presented at our Graduate Showcase.

BACHELOR / FASHION DESIGN
CREATIVE DIRECTION
& STYLING
BACHELOR OF DESIGN SPECIALISATION

Learn to shape how fashion, product and brand stories get told. From visual merchandising and brand collaborations through to editorial and luxury styling, you'll build the strategic and creative skillset to direct campaigns, shoots and collections across the fashion, food, interiors and events industries.

BACHELOR / CREATIVE DIRECTION & STYLING
