As a Bachelor of Design student you have access to world-class facilities, collaborate with other art and design students, and in your final year you may be able to showcase your work at the AUT School of Art and Design festival or the AUT Rookie fashion show.

To help you develop a broad range of skills, as part of your Bachelor of Design degree you study a major (300 points of your degree) and a minor (60 points) across your three years at AUT.

Year 1

You complete two design studio papers and three other core papers related to your major, developing practical skills and a sound understanding of your chosen area of design. You also take the first paper from your minor.

Year 2 & 3

Build on what you have learnt in Year 1 and specialise further in your major and minor. You develop specific technical skills, and an understanding of design processes and theories.?
