About

Specialise in Integrated Design for your Bachelor of Design at Massey

Learn how to meet the needs of the real world as a versatile design problem-solver

Design is about solving problems and embracing opportunity. Versatile designers need not be bound by a single speciality but can apply critical and creative thinking from one situation and apply it to another.

In the Bachelor of Design (Integrated Design), you’ll select courses from two or more of the other seven majors in the Bachelor of Design. You’ll push your study beyond traditional design boundaries.

Choose courses to form a unique programme of study, in consultation with the qualification leader. You can choose courses from the following disciplines:

concept design
fashion design
industrial design
photography
spatial design
textile design
visual communication design (including graphic design, illustration, advertising and branding, interaction design and more).
