Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Arts

A double undergraduate degree adds depth to your studies, provides opportunities to explore more varied interests, and demonstrates to employers a broader range of skills. With a Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Arts, you have the opportunity to enjoy both the deep focus of the Bachelor of Design and the flexibility of the Bachelor of Arts.

Design is a constantly evolving discipline that actively responds to a rapidly changing world. With a focus on people-centred futures, and embracing a creative problem-solving mindset, it is a profession with a vital role to play in the twenty-first century. It is an interdisciplinary practice concerned with improving human experiences; adding cultural value; contributing to the world’s economy; and, providing intelligent solutions to emerging local and global challenges. Through diverse, thoughtful, innovative and sustainable design processes, designers create spatial experiences, objects and systems, and communication solutions, that influence behaviour, activate interaction and respond to both personal and public needs.
