Become a 21st-century designer. Learn to explore a problem, understand people’s needs and behaviours and craft solutions that persuade, inform, motivate or entertain. In this degree, you are introduced to new ways of seeing and thinking about design.

You’ll balance hands-on practice with design theory, building the skills to solve communication problems. Along the way, you can follow a defined pathway, such as marketing, illustration or photography. Or, create a customized focus that fits your interests.
