Course objective

The Master of Design addresses the issues of professional development in the design fields of built environment and engineering. It aims to enhance and advance your skills and understanding of the design disciplines through explorations in social, historic, economic, legal, and technological processes and systems that act upon our environments and products. This course advances abilities in visual and design literacy, communication, and design processes, through the integration of aspects of sustainability, project management, leadership, and design project applications. Early exit with a Graduate Diploma is available upon completion of four units in the course

Career outcomes

Graduates may choose to become specialist urban designers within their chosen professional field, or use the skills and knowledge gained to diversify their capabilities across a broader spectrum of design disciplines. In particular this course provides the skills and knowledge to become a leader and manager of urban design processes, both in the development and implementation of urban design policy and urban design practice. Graduates may typically work in either private practice as urban designers, or in government organisations as urban policy developers and implementers.

Entry requirements

A four-year full-time bachelor degree in a relevant discipline area, or equivalent qualification determined by the Faculty, and a grade point average of 5.0 or more on a 7-point scale in that study. English language requirements for the course are an English Language Proficiency level in accordance with QUT requirements (IELTS score of 6.0 with no sub-band below 6.0) if English is not your first language. Applicants from a non-relevant background may gain entry through successful completion of BN85, the Graduate Certificate in Built Environment and Engineering.
