Design at JMC provides you with the tools and skills you need to create innovative solutions in an ever-evolving world of interactive media. You’ll discover the true power of visual communication and storytelling, learn the processes behind creative problem-solving, and explore ways to create better experiences for people in physical, digital, and virtual spaces.

The Design course equips you with a deep understanding of core design principles, the design thinking process, and the technical skills required for you to apply what you’ve learned across a variety of platforms and media. You’ll be taught how to tackle projects in visual, spatial, interactive, experience, and human-centered design.

The Bachelor's degree allows you to immerse yourself in the design world, develop strong visual communication skills, and understand the tools you need to make it in the industry. It gives you the opportunity to build a professional portfolio of your own work while investigating a process-based design approach and engaging with mentors from the industry on real-world projects.

Learning takes place in a studio environment where small classes encourage students to come together to collaborate on projects. From initial concept through to design and delivery, you will explore different design tools and methods to graduate fully equipped to enter the industry.

In only 2 years you can graduate with a Bachelor's degree thanks to our accelerated full-time course. Part-time study is also available to domestic students. International students may choose to complete the course in 3 years rather than the accelerated 2-year option.
