Innovate on an industrial scale
Industrial design has its roots in the designing and making of products, and the understanding and application of design in manufacturing. With a Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) you’ll apply both traditional and advanced digital techniques to a wide range of products, while gaining a knowledge of both materials and production processes. You’ll explore advanced communication skills, including digital manipulation and fabrication via additive and subtractive technologies, and will develop user-centred approaches to developing products.
The course will allow you to develop in-depth understandings of your specialised area while also expanding your potential as a designer. You’ll graduate as a resilient and adaptive design professional capable of solving a wide array of problems, and able to make significant contributions to any interdisciplinary industrial design team.
Study a Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) at UC and you will:
identify the different stages of the ‘design for manufacture’ process
select appropriate methods, materials and processes for designing and prototyping products
learn to apply advanced 2D and 3D digital design technologies
utilise a range of intuitive and rational creative design approaches which will allow you to explore relevant and innovative solutions.
