UAC CODE

The Master of Design is suitable for students with an existing practice in design, fine art or another creative field who want to update, extend and develop their practice. Students can specialise to deepen their existing knowledge or branch out to acquire new techniques and skills. Students will take on independent, studio-based projects that combine industry engagement with research and collaborative practice.
Research, inventive thinking and the ability to navigate and acquire new skills and knowledge are key to the modern design profession, and these values are central to the Master of Design. Students wishing to pursue a research project in greater depth have the opportunity to apply for the Master of Design (Advanced).
The program’s combination of leading-edge digital practice and hands-on making is unique in the Australian tertiary sector and equips graduates with the diversity and depth of expertise necessary to flourish in the contemporary design industry.
Before applying, applicants should consult the School of Art and Design website where the requirements are listed and supporting material submission information is detailed. Please see soad.cass.anu.edu.au/students/apply
Flexible double masters
The Flexible Double Master Degree provides enormous flexibility through being able to combine any two degrees available in the program for which the entry requirements are met and, by cross counting of electives, completing two degrees in one year less than completing the degrees separately. For students who are eligible for credit for previous degrees or work experience, the double degree may require as little as two years.
Career opportunities
The Master of Design offers practitioners an opportunity to develop new skills in growing areas of practice including data visualisation, web design and user experience design. The program supports students to develop distinctive hybrid practices, combining digital workflows with material techniques.
This degree will advance your professional design career and prepare you for further graduate study.
