COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Digital Design requires students to complete 24 units, structured to provide a strong foundation in creative thinking, communication, and professional digital design practice while allowing room for specialisation through a major and additional selection units. The program begins with eight core units designed to develop essential skills that support all areas of digital design. Students first build communication confidence through Persuasive Communication: Presenting Yourself and Your Ideas, followed by Introduction to Creative and Critical Thinking, which strengthens problem-solving and conceptual development. Cultural Responsibilities and Creative Communities introduces students to the social, cultural, and ethical dimensions of creative work, while Arts Business: Making and Managing Your Arts Career equips students with practical knowledge for navigating creative industries, freelancing, and career development. The core also includes Studio Practice, a two-unit course that immerses students in hands-on digital design processes, collaborative work, and iterative creative development. The Professional Visual Art Project, also worth two units, acts as an advanced capstone-style experience that allows students to undertake a self-directed creative project, develop a professional folio piece, and refine their creative identity. Beyond the core units, students complete an eight-unit major in an area such as animation, game design, interaction design, or graphic design, depending on what aligns with their interests and career goals. This major provides deeper technical and conceptual expertise and prepares students for specialised roles in the digital design industry. Students also choose eight selection units, giving them the flexibility to broaden their learning or strengthen expertise in complementary areas such as visual communication, UX, immersive media, or creative coding. These options make it possible to customise the degree to meet emerging industry demands or personal aspirations. Overall, the structure balances foundational learning, practical experience, and creative specialisation to prepare students for diverse careers in digital and interactive media.
