Learn how to tackle complex problems through design thinking, develop strategies for innovation and be on the forefront of emergent technologies for creative applications.
Design is not limited to aesthetic concerns. As a way of thinking, design provides a framework for coming up with new ideas, products, services, and systems. Design links creativity and innovation through human-centred design thinking – for either envisioning the digital interactions between people and driverless cars or using virtual reality (VR) to encourage healthier ways of living.
Applying design methods helps to ensure that new solutions address human concerns and balance cultural, environmental and economic requirements. From interaction design and design thinking to innovation design and strategic design, our programs enable you to design for the future, using the emergent technologies of today.
Our design programs provide new skills for the industry leaders of tomorrow. When you study with us, you will gain a toolbox of skills ranging from digital media production and user experience (UX) design through to visual design, effective communication and critical thinking.
Our programs also provide you with many opportunities to connect with professional designers and future work opportunities through invited guest lectures, dedicated careers nights, access to an exclusive design jobs mailing list and our annual graduate exhibition.
The MIDEA course imparted a wide range of technical skills and design principles that developed me into a holistic designer. From conceptualisation to prototyping, my proficiency in the various software and hardware required to design and program digital solutions was increased tremendously through constant practice in the studio-based learning environment.

The Masters’ degree helps you stand out as someone passionate about digital design. Through the course I was introduced to the PwC VR internship, which has resulted in fulltime employment. I have entered into a career focused on virtual and augmented reality. I want to push the boundaries of what is real vs virtual.
