The University of Melbourne
3 years full time / 6 years part time
The Bachelor of Design allows you to combine the humanities, sciences and visual and performing arts within a single degree, developing expert knowledge and skills to solve problems creatively and determine solutions for a better future.
The Bachelor of Design does not require a portfolio for entry. You will be producing your own designs and learning different design techniques from your very first semester. The entry requirements include an ATAR score of 88.00 (guaranteed) or 86.00 (lowest selection rank in 2025).
The Bachelor of Design covers a wide range of design disciplines, including the built environment, engineering, technology, and performing and visual arts. You can focus on one or two majors, or complete a major and a specialisation, such as Building Image Modelling (BIM). In 2026, two new majors are being offered in interior design and game design.
The University of Melbourne is ranked #1 in Australia and #19 in the world. It has award-winning, state-of-the-art teaching facilities that demonstrate many of the design techniques you will be working to acquire in class. Many of your teachers are also working in industry, sharing current knowledge and practice directly with you.
As a Bachelor of Design graduate, you will be in high demand, with the ability to apply design thinking across a wide range of industries. Designers are playing an important role in expanding the potential of emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things, smart homes, smart cities, and intelligent transportation. You will be equipped with the skills to transform and provide lasting solutions that improve the way we live and interact with the world around us.
