The BDA aims to prepare students for careers as professional designer-makers. The program is offered in all disciplines but has particular relevance to students in Ceramics, Glass, Textiles, Furniture, Gold & Silversmithing and Sculpture. It utilises current digital technology in design development providing an ideal platform for future design professionals. Students undertake Core Studies in semesters 1 and 2 with Semesters 1-6 focussing on the relevant Workshop discipline as the major study. This is supported by art and design theory courses and complementary studies including 3D computer modelling and drawing, inkjet printing and rapid prototyping.
