Digital Design - Apprenticeship Style

This unique program combines an accredited college diploma with hands-on, part-time work in the design industry. Starting in Term 2, you’ll apply your learning on real-world projects while developing creative skills in digital and print media including websites, e-publications, applications, and interactive multimedia products. You’ll gain experience working individually and in teams, and learn to present, defend, and critique projects while meeting client needs, scope, and resources.

Program Highlights
  • Engage in real-world industry projects starting Term 2
  • Gain practical skills alongside experienced employers
  • Maintain academic progression by passing all term courses
