DEGREES FASHION DESIGN; FASHION DESIGN & BUSINESS BDes (Hons) / BDes DURATION 4 YEARS FULL-TIME AVAILABLE WELLINGTON THIS LONG-STANDING NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY-RECOGNISED DEGREE HAS BEEN THE LAUNCHING PAD FOR SCORES OF SUCCESSFUL FASHION DESIGNERS NOW OWNING OR WORKING IN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FASHION BUSINESSES. A fashion design major prepares students for a broad range of opportunities and roles in the creation and sale of apparel both locally and internationally. You can choose either a fashion design major or New Zealand’s only joint Fashion Design and Business major. OVERVIEW The objective of the fashion design major is to produce innovative designers with a broad-based design education and an interactive approach to apparel design, manufacturing technology, local and global fashion markets. Our students also have the ability to respond sensitively to socio-cultural and environmental issues. Your degree-level study of fashion design will include creative design of apparel, skills in producing patterns and prototypes, knowledge of textile materials, market and trend analysis, and the development of an ability to position fashion products in the marketplace. You’ll have opportunities to enter fashion design competitions and even for internship placement in industry. The Fashion Design and Business joint major provides a creative design education aligned with forward-thinking business strategy for a progressive global market - ideal for those who aspire to be involved at the business end of fashion design. Any business major can be combined with the core fashion design papers although the most likely are communication, entrepreneurship and small business, or marketing. STRUCTURE OF THE MAJORS The fashion design major lets fashion students have some flexibility in pursuing fashion alongside other design areas or as a joint degree with a business major. It is unique in New Zealand in providing routes for fashion students to incorporate other design disciplines up to at least 300-level. Fashion design papers, as electives, are also open to students in other design majors. Year One of the programme consists of design studio papers, which must include Studio I - Dress, critical and contextual studies, and two elective papers (see pages 9-11). Year Two focuses on fashion design and supporting technical subjects. You’ll get a grounding in fashion design, history, materials, pattern development and garment production. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES These majors develop both academic understanding and the innovative and practical skills required for careers in fashion design and broader design businesses. Graduates go on to develop their own labels, while others work in design, production, marketing, merchandising and more. The qualification can be used as entry to fashion design and brand development in diverse areas from high fashion to sports, corporate and other specialised clothing, in costume for stage and film, and in production planning and quality assurance roles amongst others. Graduates may also continue on to postgraduate study. In Year Three, you’ll learn further fashion-specific knowledge and skills, and integrate all aspects in an extensive fashion product design project. If you are doing the joint fashion and business major, you should select papers from the business majors offered in the Bachelor of Business Studies. The opportunity for an internship in a fashion-related business in Part Three or Part Four can provide you with experience of a vocational area prior to completion of your degree. In the fourth year of the programme you will develop and undertake a research-based major project (BDes Honours students) that may result in a collection, or you may choose to do a studio project (BDes students) that may result in a mini-collection. The degree is completed with papers from those offered in business or specialist design and theoretical studies. YOUR GUIDE TO DESIGN AND FINE ARTS 13
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN BDes (Hons) / BDes DURATION 4 YEARS FULL-TIME AVAILABLE WELLINGTON THIS DEGREE INCORPORATES INNOVATIVE THINKING, PRACTICAL DESIGN AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS, EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE TO MEET THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS OF CONTEMPORARY AND FUTURE SOCIETIES. The industrial design major is noted for the number of students who have won prestigious national and international design competitions. Graduates are working in consumer product companies such as Fisher & Paykel, Nike and Apple, and creative industries like Weta Workshop. OVERVIEW Industrial design is a great choice if you enjoy being creative and making three-dimensional objects. The programme focuses on designing desirable, innovative products that humanise new and existing technologies as well as enhancing our lives. Industrial designers are interested in the design of products, the experiences of people who use these products and the systems in which these products play a part. Through the programme you will research and design a diverse range of items from tools to kitchenware, jewellery to sporting goods, furniture to agricultural equipment. Your learning is mostly studio-based, and you will use both traditional and digital processes to explore design ideas. Through drawings and models you’ll refine these ideas into desirable, responsible products. This programme helps you learn how to conduct yourself as a design professional, and how the effective use of good design is an essential element in business success. The second year of the programme introduces specialist material and studio work including model making, history, materials and processes, ergonomics and visual communication (including drawing and rendering). In the third year of the programme you’ll undertake advanced studio design projects. You’ll study theory and criticism, materials and processes, and visual communication. In the fourth year of the programme you’ll develop and undertake individual research assignments, study professional practice and complete a design research (BDes Hons students) or studio project (BDes students). We also encourage our students to enter a national or international design competition. Throughout your degree, you will work with students from other majors in core studio papers, and critical and contextual studies, and have a wide choice of electives open to all design students. The objective of the programme is to produce internationally competitive, innovative product designers who will contribute to the shape of the future. Our focus is on helping our graduates become professionals who explore new ways of designing and integrating the needs of society, culture and the environment. STRUCTURE OF THE MAJOR Throughout the programme you will develop a rich understanding of design for desirability, usability and experience. Your skill in translating those attributes into products, furniture and systems will improve in leaps and bounds. Year One of the programme consists of design studio papers, which must include Studio I - Object, critical and contextual studies, and two elective papers (see pages 9-11).
