About the course
This university-wide Second Major in Design is a structured set of design units (typically 72 or 96 credit points) that can be taken alongside your primary degree, subject to your course rules. It supports building complementary design capabilities across areas such as fashion communication and industrial design, with options delivered on campus and online. This is an additional study area rather than a standalone award in design. The programme develops creative and multimedia skills aligned with its qualification level and industry expectations.
Career outcome
A second major in Design can broaden your career options by adding design thinking, visual communication and project-based skills to your primary discipline. Depending on the units chosen, you may develop capabilities relevant to areas such as fashion branding and communication, merchandising support, styling and content production, or industrial design processes for user-centred products and systems. Outcomes vary by unit selection and your main degree, but strengthen employability in design-related roles and industries.
