Bachelor of Industrial Design (Honours)
Overview
Are you interested in industrial design? Would you like to create change? This discipline shapes the world we live in.
Industrial designers have the ability to affect change and create powerful solutions that improve both human and environmental health and wellbeing.
Exploring the trans-disciplinary nature of contemporary industrial design, you'll engage in hands-on learning through our practice-based design studios, co-creating solutions through a human centred approach to product, service and experience design contexts.
For more than 70 years, industrial design at RMIT has offered aspiring designers groundbreaking experiences through technical, theoretical and applied immersions into the diverse and dynamic fields of industrial design practice. Working on real-world problems in industry and community contexts, this hands-on educational experience culminates in a year-long honours design research project.
