The award-winning Associate Degree in Design (Furniture Design) program prepares students to learn how to make creative and original furniture designs with a strong grounding in design methods, manufacturing technologies and processes informed by cultural and social factors.
Students will work on combining real-life industry projects and design theory with a hands-on focus on production to create sustainable contemporary modern furniture products. It teaches them to investigate contemporary, cultural and environmental aspects of professional furniture design practice.
Students will gain the skills to explore design through real-world industry projects with highly-regarded design companies, and connect with Australian and international industry mentors who will work with them to provide feedback on the commercial viability of their design work.
As a graduate, students will have the opportunity to compete in local and international design competitions such as London Design Week, Fringe Design, Workshopped Design Show Australia, and VIVID (Décor + Design).
Upon graduation students will be able to design their future, working for major production companies or as an independent designer in the global furniture industry in roles such as:
- designer
- production manager
- buyer
- retail specialist
- account manager
