What you will learn

Students will study eight compulsory modules in their first year, giving them a strong understanding of business management before they specialise in their second and third years. All students in their final year of study will complete Applied Work Integrated Learning (AWIL). This gives students an opportunity to be placed in industry, gain valuable work experience, and complete an agreed piece of research, increasing employment chances when they graduate. 

 

In their second year, students will study three modules specific to their major and a further three, which could either contribute to a second major or be elective modules based on the student's areas of interest. Students will also take the Applied Management and Research Methodology core modules.

 

Whether students choose one or two majors, if they study full-time, they will still complete their degree in three years.

Joining Design Factory NZ will provide students with the opportunity to learn and work in new ways, prototype solutions to complex problems, and develop their soft skills of creativity, empathy and communication - all in high-demand for the workplace of the future.
