The Design and Innovation Diploma

The Design and Innovation Diploma is made up of two key courses that are taught within the department: Design and Designing (T211) and Innovation: Designing for a Sustainable Future (T307).

After completing the diploma students gain a good understanding of the design process and the context of design. They will also develop skills in the presentation and the communication of ideas; problem solving and creative thinking; information searching and project planning. The two courses that make up this diploma use examples drawn from a range of design professions to teach basic principles. Both courses have practical and project work elements that enable students to develop their understanding and skills.
