In this program students can develop creative and technological aptitude through a user-centred design program supported by business studies, professional practice, consumer knowledge, sustainability and design ethics. Through observation, enquiry and practice under the supervision and guidance of professional practitioners and an academic mentor, students will engage in professional experiences and test and critically assess their learning to date. The experience contextualises existing design skills within an understanding of the impact of client, customer, team dynamics and direction in the design process.
