Postgraduate

This is the final subject of each of the Design Expertise majors in the Master of Design course. Students utilise the knowledge and insights they have gained from their Master's studies to develop an original body of design work in an area of practice as defined by their previous elective study. Each student develops an individual project that includes four elements: design research, design conceptualisation, design development and design evaluation. Assessment is based on the submission of a project that clearly demonstrates these four elements of the design process. This is a demanding subject that requires self-motivation and self-management of a high order. Students need to plan their time effectively as there is a substantial amount of work in translating a project notion into a well-researched and documented design proposal and then finally into a responsive detailed design.
