Study a Master of Design – MDes

Go in depth with an advanced design research qualification. You’ll have a targeted outcome, often of direct application to industry. We will help you make strong connections with the business, public or non-profit sector.

 

You’ll have access to individual studio space and our comprehensive technical expertise and facilities. These include:

• an industry-scale green screen studio

• Australasia’s first Fab Lab

• industry-standard workshops

• digital imaging facilities

• darkrooms.

 

Real-world projects

All MDes students complete a thesis project: a supervised programme of focused design research, taking a challenging real-world problem through to a well-resolved solution, like a product prototype.
