Leading to: Bachelor of Design (Graphic and Communication Design)

Graphic and Communication Design (often referred to as Visual Communication) involves creating innovative identities, messages, ideas and images that inform, motivate and educate across a range of sectors, from logo and identity design, to posters, apps and package design. Graphic and Communication Design contributes to contemporary society through visual strategy, problem solving and design research in various areas of communication.

This degree has been the starting point for many of the country’s leading communication and graphic designers, and it will prepare you for a vibrant career in the design industry. Taught by established academics and designers, you will graduate with an industry-relevant qualification.

A focus on practical learning integrated with design thinking means you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to design stimulating, effective visual communications, and the confidence to create across a range of communication platforms and contexts.


What you'll learn

With an emphasis on practical studio-based learning, creativity and teamwork, you will graduate with the ability to design effective communications applied to diverse contexts. You will:

  • Cover topics including: typography, brand and identity design, packaging, drawing techniques, print and digital image design, information graphics, app layout and communication, user experience design, web and publication design.
  • Learn to design for screen and print platforms, including motion graphics, interaction design, and design strategy.
  • Develop practical and technical skills in a variety of media for diverse outcomes.
  • Learn how to integrate creative skills with design thinking methods to address wide-ranging communication tasks and scenarios

The Bachelor of Design (Graphic and Communication Design) is practice-based, involving creative and critical thinking integrated with craft and technical skills. Throughout this degree, you will learn how to respond effectively to communication problems through design as you develop the skills to articulate ideas and approaches to work independently and in a team.

You will also be required to complete design electives as part of your studies. These provide the opportunity for you to further explore areas and pathways of interest and to build an individual and effective portfolio.
