Bachelor of Industrial Design (Honours)

RMIT University

Industrial designers have the ability to affect change and create powerful solutions that improve both human and environmental health and wellbeing. Exploring the trans-disciplinary nature of contemporary industrial design, you'll engage in hands-on learning through our practice-based design studios, co-creating solutions through a human centred approach to product, service and experience design contexts. For more than 70 years, industrial design at RMIT has offered aspiring designers groundbreaking experiences through technical, theoretical and applied immersions into the diverse and dynamic fields of industrial design practice. Working on real-world problems in industry and community contexts, this hands-on educational experience culminates in a year-long honours design research project.Design studios provide a unique way of exploring ideas by challenging designers. They are run by academics and practicing leaders from architectural and design firms. The design studio model emulates the best practice of design firms. They allow you to explore design, and connect with your peers, industry and integrate with other disciplines.Graduates work in a broad range of contexts and settings relevant to new enterprise development, design innovation and the development of contemporary cities. They can find work in product and manufacturing companies, in consultancy, entertainment, education, cultural and services sectors, and for research institutions. Cross-disciplinary designers work in emerging fields of design practice, others start and run their own design or product-producing businesses. The course prepares graduates to undertake Masters by Research or PhD after successful completion of this degree.
