The curriculum develops well-rounded creative professionals by combining the expressive strengths of graphic and visual communication design with the research, systems and prototyping capabilities of user experience and interaction design. Students build strong foundations in visualisation, composition, materials, narrative, digital interfaces and creative coding before advancing into user-centered design, information architecture, branding, digital media, interface design, motion and interactive systems.
Studio-based learning enables students to investigate user needs and cultural contexts, translate research into concepts, prototype interactions, create visual and motion assets, and evaluate design outcomes across screens, connected products and immersive environments. The program encourages the responsible use of AI-assisted workflows while reinforcing human judgment, originality, accessibility, intellectual property awareness and ethical communication.
The first three years establish integrated professional capability and conclude with an intensive Industrial Internship in Semester 6. The honours year deepens expertise in new media interaction, inclusive design, motion and microinteractions, strategic design and entrepreneurship, culminating in an independent Graduation Project and Design Colloquium. Graduates are prepared to contribute across digital product teams, media and entertainment, creative technology, experience design, branding, research, consulting and entrepreneurial practice.
