In the higher education diploma year, students develop an understanding of the core concepts and technical skills needed for a career in design. Combining design creativity with business skills allows students to take advantage of the commercialization of graphic and communication design, interior and spatial design, product and 3D design, and visualisation and immersive design. Students have the opportunity to develop a unique range of skills and abilities to bridge the creative-business divide. On successful completion of the diploma, students progress into the Griffith University dual degree with credit. For more information, refer to separate entries for Diploma of Design at Griffith College and Bachelor of Design/Bachelor of Business at Griffith University.
