As a student of the Faculty of Arts and Design, you'll select from a range of flexible options in first year, to complement your studies in your chosen degree. You'll then build on your knowledge in second year through a focus on practical, professional and conceptual studies. Finally, you'll refine your knowledge in third year through internships, other work integrated learning opportunities and, in most cases, through completing capstone studies where you produce a major piece of work on a topic of your choice.

For those interested in further studies, we offer postgraduate courses at honours level, postgraduate coursework and postgraduate research levels right across our disciplines. Our well-equipped studios and laboratories make learning an interesting and enjoyable experience; while our flexible programs help you build the knowledge and experience best suited to your particular interests and aspirations.
