This coursework masters degree provides an opportunity for graduates of selected fields of design to take advanced studies in design, supported by advanced studies in research methods for designers. The course allows design graduates to further their studies in design practice and planning at an advanced level. The core of the course consists of three units of design studio extending over three semesters. These are a series of supervised projects culminating in a design product (including design system, process, or artefact) at a highly professional level of resolution. Students select one of the following streams within design studio for the entire course: industrial design, visual communication; interior architecture; multimedia design; or multidisciplinary design. In addition to the core design studio, students take two units to support the formation of design research strategies, a unit in professional practice, and a unit which complements their other studies by extending relevant skills and knowledge. Teaching consists of studio sessions, lectures and tutorials. Assessment is based on project work, written and verbal presentations and assignments.
The course consists of seven coursework units, with a total of 72 credit points:
