The work of spatial designers is ever present – it examines the design of spaces that are inside, outside, public, private, real and virtual.
As a Spatial Design graduate, you’ll have the skills to create new experiences that set moods, communicate ideas, address social issues and facilitate cultural expression through the innovative use of space, light, technology and form.
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.

SPATIAL DESIGN GRADUATE
The best part of studying Spatial Design at Monash has been the way the course takes a holistic approach to teaching. The subjects and projects in the first year are arranged so you develop good technical skills and gain a solid knowledge in design theory and history that can be applied to the creative projects in the studio classes.
