About Master of Design, MDes - at Collarts

The Master of Design is a coursework program designed to meet the requirements of a diverse range of design and non-design sectors.

Design thinking, skills and knowledges continue to be valued as part of a broader arts and creative industries sector where designers can contribute to social, cultural and community gains in addition to contributing to the national economy.

User-experience and web designers are sought after across technology, retail, cyber security and finance sectors, product designers are needed in a variety of manufacturing, biomedical and technology sectors, and services designers shape the experiences for customers across many industries.

All units are developed with a strong commitment to recognising and valuing Indigenous cultural knowledges, creative practices, and diplomacies, ensuring a culturally responsive and inclusive learning experience.
