    About

    Good design is essential. It starts with identifying a problem and ends with an outcome, driven by the desire to meet the needs of the user.

    UQ’s Bachelor of Design will empower you to create transformative solutions for a more sustainable future. Through hands-on, studio-based projects, you'll collaborate with peers, question assumptions, and prototype new ideas that address complex problems in imaginative ways.

    This multidisciplinary program incorporates elements of business, IT, architecture and the humanities. You'll develop a flexible range of skills to succeed in almost any industry – from digital communication or industrial design to spatial and human-centred design.

    You’ll graduate with the creativity and expertise to drive meaningful change and make an impact in the world.

    You can specialise in 1 or 2 majors that align with your preferred career pathway. Choose from Anthropology, Buildings and Environment, Environment and Society, Information Environments, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Media and Digital Cultures.

    Join a new breed of designers who possess the expertise and creativity to respond to the complex needs of a contemporary world.
