Industrial design is a vital part of modern-day living. Every day of our lives, we encounter products designed and manufactured with the intention of making our lives easier. It is industrial designers, incorporating a lateral and cross-disciplinary approach to problem solving, who create the most useful products.

The primary focus of our Industrial Design program is ensuring that our graduates are completely industry-ready, able to think strategically and provide innovative design solutions in a commercial context. The course promotes an awareness of the place of design in society and its effect on people, the environment and the economy, and provides students with the ability to work independently or collaboratively.

You will be required to undertake 10 weeks of industry placement, which encourages professional development and often leads to projects for the final year of the program and, in some instances, direct employment upon graduation. Additionally, our graduates are eligible for professional membership of the Design Institute of Australia – the professional body representing designers in Australia.

As an Industrial Design graduate, you can look forward to career opportunities in:

• Technological innovation
• Consumer goods
• Entertainment and games
• Online and e-learning solutions
• Manufacturing
• Secondary Teaching
