Design

Overview

The Design program at Monash University  provides you with the platform to explore advanced principles in contemporary design that will enhance your design practice and provide you with the platform to be an innovative leader.

Central to this course is four core design studios that will engage you with design systems, services, processes, environments and objects.  In addition to the core design studios, you will undertake studies in Design Thinking allowing you to analyse real-world challenges through design thinking strategies and approaches.  Further studies will build your capabilities in design research, management and entrepreneurialism and culminating in an exegesis.

This program is ideal for people with an undergraduate degree in any discipline who are keen to enter the expanding fields of professional design engagement, or for design practitioners aiming to upgrade their expertise.
