The curriculum develops scientific inquiry, design research, material intelligence, ergonomics, manufacturing awareness, building systems knowledge, digital modeling, prototyping, and experience-led spatial thinking. Students progress from visualisation, design fundamentals, systems thinking, and materials to advanced product development, furniture and interior systems, sustainable design, smart and connected environments, and strategic practice.
The first three years establish an integrated disciplinary foundation and conclude with an Industrial Internship in Semester 6. The Honours year deepens inclusive product design, CMFTT strategy, branding and wayfinding, hospitality and workplace design, strategic design, and entrepreneurship before culminating in a Graduation Project and Design Colloquium.
Graduates are prepared to create products and environments as interconnected systems: functionally appropriate, emotionally meaningful, accessible, sustainable, technologically responsive, and viable within contemporary manufacturing, construction, service, and business contexts.
