Overview

Bachelor of Industrial Design

In this degree, you'll combine innovative design and creative engineering. 

You'll learn through making as you get hands-on with advanced technologies, including 3D printing, under the guidance of the experienced teaching staff.

This degree sits within both the Queensland College of Art and the Griffith School of Engineering, which is a testament to your study's practical and interdisciplinary nature. 

You'll be taught electronics, mechanics, thermofluids and more by engineering specialists while also being taught design skills, digital modelling and 3D printing by design professionals. 

A well-rounded degree sets you up to start your career equipped with the skills and knowledge you need.

Your degree also incorporates an international focus on digital and advanced technology manufacturing, giving you the chance to develop an understanding of how a product is created, from design to delivery, in a global context.

Industry and expert connections

Throughout your degree, you'll interact with experts in the industry to put what you learn in the classroom into practice while developing strong industry connections. 

In your first year, you'll have the opportunity to visit design houses to get a feel for industrial design. 

Further, into your degree, you will work with design professionals while embedded in their businesses as part of your assessment. 

Once you graduate, you are eligible to become a member of the Design Institute of Australia, as this industry body recognises your degree.

WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING (WIL)

An integrated program of exposure to current industry practice will be built into the program with industry set projects and industry competitions. 

Staff will draw upon their industry/professional experience in choosing the studio and laboratory activities, projects and/or case studies and problems. 

The final year Major Studio course is the capstone course. 

Students who are aiming to work in industry are supported in working on projects that have a collaborative industry partner basis, and students aiming to work as researchers are encouraged to work on real world research projects. 

The third year, second trimester industry project course provides a WIL experience, integrating technical expertise with the practical issues of professional/industry practice in an internship experience. 

It is either based with an industry partner or driven by an industry brief and supervised through: 

The WIL facility is run out of Liveworm (Griffith University WIL commercial design studio) or equivalent in the University or supervised by an Engineering lecturer on an external Industrial Design or Engineering based brief.
