Integrated product design expands on the traditional field of industrial design to reflect the changed realities of the globalised design profession. The course offers a practice-based approach to learning through the integration of digital and analogue technologies across the broad field of integrated product design, as well as the potential for specialisation within highly contemporary and innovative integrated product design practices.
Structured around design studios, this dynamic course allows the development and realisation of major projects, as a professional design outcome. With a strong emphasis on creativity and technology, graduates move seamlessly from the design of material objects to the design of associated services together with the skills to maintain a specialist role within an interdisciplinary team.
The Bachelor of Design in Integrated Product Design (Honours) centres on the integration of research and high-level design project engagement. This provides students with an opportunity to be challenged by high-level engagement with design, research and practice. Honours projects are managed by structuring technology-driven, practice-orientated and research-integrated learning.
Students explore design issues, learn and implement new strategies and combine theory and practice in the context of a rapidly changing technological and social environment. They are encouraged to develop intellectual independence and a research-driven methodology to product development that explores the boundaries of their profession.
