Please note effective 20 March 9 pm AEDT, the Australian Government implemented new travel bans and restrictions whereby only Australian citizens, Permanent Residents, their spouses and dependants could enter the country. For students who would like to study a course that’s offered on campus, we will work with you to enrol you online first and transition you to campus once the travel restrictions change.
What could be more exciting and rewarding for a creative person than to have the chance to experiment with every avenue of design? If you have a flair for creativity but can’t decide between graphic design, digital design, video production, interior design, or fashion, this foundational introduction to the design profession gives you the opportunity to choose options for further study and for your future career.
You can sample from two to four of these specialist areas: Branded Fashion design, Communication Design , Digital Media Design, or Interior Design. You’ll be guided by design industry professionals and collaborate with other imaginative and talented students.
The Diploma of Design from Torrens University Australia provides full credit as a pathway into the more advanced courses. This means you can use it as a yellow-brick road towards finishing your full degree.
Or you can take what you’ve learned and use it to create some new hybrid discipline the likes of which has never been seen before. Consider the possibilities if you were to study Branded Fashion Design and Digital Media Design, for example – your fashion parades would be amazing!
As a graduate, you'll have a wealth of career opportunities available to you:
