Bachelor of Design (Communication Design)

This degree prepares you to be a locally and internationally aware communication designer capable of working across a range of domains and industries, including graphic design, advertising, branding and illustration consultancies, as well as design and communication units within corporate, government and non-government organisations.

You’ll learn skills alongside a strong selection of peers in studio-based facilities.
