Design Studio: Professional Practice

This course provides students with critical approaches to analyse, identify and contextualise their own professional design practice and future pathways. Surveying the breadth of work produced over the course of the Bachelor of Design program – creative entrepreneurial themes are identified that critically engage social, cultural, technological, environmental and ethical contexts, indicative of contemporary and emerging design industries. In this course, we ask how can the diverse and experimental project outcomes tell the story of an ethical design practitioner in meeting future challenges? Utilising critical and transdisciplinary skills and knowledge developed over the course of the degree, students document, edit and evaluate their own practice to identify and develop emergent professional directions.
