This
coursework masters degree allows designers to sharpen their professional
practice, and further their marketing, business and analytical skills at an
advanced level. Graduates of the Master of Design will have enhanced, highly
developed capabilities, which will place them at the forefront of their field
of design practice.
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). Students are
required to demonstrate high level planning, resourcing, implementation and
evaluation, culminating in an expert understanding of the professional design
process.
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.
Applicants should hold a bachelors degree in design or multimedia from Monash University or an equivalent qualification from another tertiary institute or university approved by the faculty. Applicants are expected to continue studies in the discipline in which they have already specialised at the undergraduate level. Applications should be accompanied by 10 to 15 pieces of recent, relevant work. These may be presented on a CD, as slides or as colour printouts, which must be clearly numbered with a corresponding list of details attached.
Up to 24 credit points may be granted for previously completed similar units taken at the same level, for example as part of an honours course. For similar undergraduate units, students will normally be required to make substitutions.
The course consists of seven coursework units, with a total of 72 credit points:
