3 The aim of the degree course is to train designers to work
effectively in areas where information is conveyed by visual
means, such as advertising, publishing, publicity, printing,
merchandising, education and some research projects. The
course is planned to produce imaginative designers, who, with
specialisation and experience in industry, should achieve
positions commensurate with their individual talents.
The first two years of the course are common to each of the
degreelhonours streams but in the final degree year, a number
of special bias studies are offered, including photography,
illustration and three-dimensional design.

Industry Based Learning (IBL) Program
The aim of the honours year is to meet the present and future
needs of industry, and to train people with a high degree of
creative ability for positions of administrative responsibility in
the areas of direction and production of printing, publishing,
computer-based production techniques, advertising, education
and information design.
At the completion of the second year, students are selected for
the honours program. They are required to spend the whole of
the third year working in an industrial situation organised by
Swinburne. This third year enables the student to begin
professional practice, supervised by senior staff.
During the year in industry, students are required to attend the
University for one day per week for subjects: Print Technology
and Art and Design Culture.
In the final year, in addition to Studio Projects 4, Design
Management is studied.
Design Centre Degree Program
Degree students who achieve an overall high standard in their
final year qualify to apply for the Design Centre Honours
program which provides an introduction to professional design
practice in an educational environment.
Students who are selected for this program undertake a
variety of professional consultancy-based design projects under
the guidance of lecturing staff and industry mentors.
