Overview
Design at Melbourne
The Bachelor of Design fosters new ways of thinking, developing practical skills and theoretical expertise that prepare you for a rewarding career as a design professional.
You’ll produce your own designs and learn different design techniques from your very first semester. Design Studio classes follow the same approach as you’ll find in the workplace, ensuring you are industry-ready from day one.
Course structure
The Bachelor of Design requires the successful completion of 23 to 24 subjects (300 credit points). Full-time students usually study eight subjects each year for three years. Most subjects are worth 12.5 credit points, but some are worth 25 credit points.
In 2026, two new majors are being offered in interior design and game design.
Depending on your area of interest you could choose to study:
- One major
- Two majors
- A major and a specialisation.
First year
In first year you will be immersed in the world of design and learn new concepts and skills that will carry through for the rest of your degree. You might be helping to bring stage performances to life through the design of space, light and sound, writing code in a computer lab, contemplating design theory and putting it in to practice, or making 3D models.
Second year
By your second year you will deepen your understanding of your chosen design disciplines and finalise your selection of majors and specialisations.
Your major
The Bachelor of Design is your degree; your major is the study area you’ll focus on. You don’t need to know which major you want to do from day one.
In most cases, you’ll be able to try a few different study areas in your first year before deciding on your major in second year. Depending on what you want to accomplish in the Bachelor of Design, you can choose to study one or two majors, or a major and a specialisation. There are 14 majors to choose from.
In the Bachelor of Design, your major is made up of three to four subjects (50 credit points) at third-year level, building on your first and second-year level subjects.
It is possible to complete a double major within the Bachelor of Design. Undertaking a double major can provide you with more career options at the end of your degree, as well as greater flexibility should you choose to go on to graduate study.
Specialisations
A specialisation is a short sequence of subjects that focuses on a particular theme within the Bachelor of Design. Subjects in specialisations do not form part of any existing major but are distinctive and are complementary to your major. A specialisation could support a research pathway, lead to accreditation with industry bodies or increase your employment opportunities.
Electives
Electives are non-compulsory subjects within the Bachelor of Design. You will usually choose elective subjects that complement your major area of study. Most students take one to two electives per semester.
Breadth
Breadth is a unique feature of the Melbourne curriculum. It gives you the chance to explore subjects outside your core area of study, develop new perspectives, and learn to collaborate with others who have different strengths and interests – just as you will need to do in your future career.
Some of our students use breadth to explore creative interests or topics they have always been curious about. Others use breadth to improve their career prospects by complementing their major with a language, communication skills or business expertise. Many discover new passions through breadth, and some even change their career plans!
‘Breadth tracks’ (groups of breadth subjects taken throughout your degree) could qualify you for graduate study in a field that’s very different to your major.
Design students have more than 1000 breadth subjects to choose from, so the opportunities to expand your knowledge are endless. You must take at least four breadth subjects during your degree.

Making up one third of your subjects, a major is the subject area you’ll focus on during your undergraduate degree. In your first year you can focus on your major straight away or explore other subjects before deciding on what major you want to pursue. A major generally comprises eight subjects (100 points of study) but can comprise up to 10 subjects (125 points of study).

|---|---|
| Architecture |
The Architecture major teaches students to apply design thinking, a creative and iterative solution-focused approach, to imagine, question, and innovate future environments for living in our age of rapid urbanisation, environmental degradation, global flows of people, materials and capital, and exponentially increasing digital capabilities. Students develop foundational design skills while forming critical and historical understanding of the key issues that define our transforming world: climate change, equity and diversity, indigeneity, place identity, health and resilience, and shifting urbanism. Through its interdisciplinary pedagogy and international perspective, the Architecture major prepares students to become reflective designers capable of operating in different contexts and working within cross-disciplinary project teams. Design lies at the heart of the architectural process and is underpinned by an expertise in conceptualising spatial conditions and representing imagined environments in 2D and 3D (analogue and digital), an understanding of technologies of building (structural and material systems, building science and environmental systems), and a knowledge of precedents from history (architectural, construction, landscape and urban) to envision better social and environmental outcomes. Consequently, the major is focused around a spine of design studios which are supported by a sequence of subjects that teach histories and theories of design, skills in visual representation, and building technologies. Students are engaged in varied learning contexts that include studios, lectures, tutorials, digital learning environments, site visits, a fabrication workshop and a research library where ideas, skills and knowledge can be learned, shared, debated, experimented with and tested. The culmination of the Architecture major is the capstone subject Design Studio Epsilon where students tackle design issues at the urban scale through engagement with historical, theoretical, structural, socio-spatial and environmental ideas. Careers and Further Study: Upon completion of the Bachelor of Design with a major in Architecture, students will have the option of either finding employment or applying to continue into the two-year Master of Architecture program, which will allow students to become professional architects. The Master of Architecture is a 200 point professional degree that emphasises the central role of design in the studio.
