Bachelor of Computational Design (Honours)

About the course

The Bachelor of Computational Design (Honours) develops advanced design capability using computational methods. You’ll explore how algorithms, digital modelling and data-driven processes can shape design outcomes, applying these approaches through an honours-level project. The program suits students seeking deeper, research-informed practice at the intersection of design and computation in a focused one-year honours degree in design. The programme develops design, animation, visual storytelling, and digital media production for creative industries.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue roles where computational thinking supports design practice, including computational designer, digital design specialist, design technologist, parametric modelling specialist or design researcher. Opportunities span architecture and built environment studios, digital fabrication and advanced modelling workflows, creative technology teams, and R&D contexts where prototyping and algorithmic design are valued. Outcomes align with an honours qualification in computational design.
