Our Bachelor of Collaborative Design is a new educational opportunity that answers industry’s increasing need for design professionals with blended skill sets, who have the ability to work in new and emerging career fields including service design, experience design, and co-design.
Collaborative design brings together people with lived experience and those with professional expertise. You’ll work at the intersection of creativity and collaboration, and experience design as a relational, social, cultural and political practice with tangible impact.
This includes everything from making space (both physical and metaphorical), designing materials and facilitating activities, to encouraging participation and creative thinking.
Graduate career ready
You'll learn from academics and industry experts, each with their own creative practice,
allowing you to benefit from the most up-to-date professional knowledge and experience.
Studio-based learning
Monash Design’s studio-based learning model emphasises hands-on, practical learning and fosters an environment where you can engage creatively in project-based practice throughout your degree. You’ll collaborate in small groups under the guidance of design professionals to develop your design skills and conceptual thinking to answer some of the pressing issues facing society today.
Go Global
Broaden your horizons and gain a new perspective on your creative practice by taking your studies global. No what matter what you're studying with us, you'll have a chance to take a unit at our Monash University Prato Centre in Italy, or participate in a travelling studio to Japan or to Korea.
Internships
No matter which specialisation you choose, you can take an internship as part of your design degree. Internships are a great way to apply your skills and knowledge into a real work environment and to grow your professional network while you study. You can either source your own placement or we can help connect you with organisations looking for design interns.
