Overview
The combined degree program in Industrial Design and International Studies provides students with additional practical skills, in particular those that make them aware of the international contexts of industrial design, by providing the opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of a language and culture other than English.
Course aims
The aim of the combined degree in Industrial Design and International Studies is to produce graduates who have developed perspectives and understandings that enable them to meet the professional demands of an internationalised marketplace.
Career options
Career options include product designer, product manager or exhibition designer. Examples of products include cars, electrical goods, furniture, packaging, storage systems and computers. Career options are enhanced by international experience, making students more marketable to prospective employers.
Additional admission requirements
International students (excluding those studying in an Australian high school) must submit an application to the UTS International Office (in person, by mail or online) or through an accredited UTS representative. The application must include a portfolio of the student's work (preferrably provided on CD or DVD).
There is a range of entry levels to the various Language and Culture programs. Students are admitted to the International Studies program with no guarantee of entry to a specific major, although every effort is made to meet students' preferences.
In addition to the standard application requirements, all non-current school leaver applicants to this course are required to submit online a compulsory Personal Statement directly to UTS by the end of September. For further information, see UTS Personal Statements.
Additional assumed knowledge
There are no prior language requirements, except for programs within the Heritage major.
Course duration and attendance
The Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design, Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is a six-year, full-time degree. Students spend their fourth year of study at a university overseas.
Course structure
Students must complete 288 credit points of study, comprising 192 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design (C10053) and 96 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies.
The Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design curriculum is based on a problem-solving approach and self-directed learning with significant emphasis on multidisciplinary study. All students are required to gain practical experience in professional design practice to augment and complement their academic studies.
The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies requires undergraduates to study a major – a region or country – over a minimum of three years. Students study language and culture in the second and third year and spend their fourth year of study at a university overseas.
The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is not offered as a separate degree, but is completed only in combination with the professional degree program.
Industrial training/professional practice
Students can undertake part-time work experience in their third year of study.
