The Bachelor of Industrial Design at Griffith University focuses on the creation and refinement of products, systems, and services that support how people live and work. Across three years of full-time study, students engage in a blend of design theory, practical studio work, and technical skills. The curriculum moves from core design principles to advanced project work, with exposure to materials selection, user experience, sustainability, and digital fabrication tools.
Offered in Brisbane, this degree typically covers six teaching periods per year across standard semesters, with units of study totalling credit points that will be listed on the official site. Students can expect dedicated studio courses, collaborative projects, and opportunities for work-integrated learning through industry placements. These placements are valued by Australian employers and give graduates direct exposure to design processes, professional communication, and teamwork within a real workplace.
Throughout the degree, students complete a capstone project that draws together learned skills, sometimes in partnership with Australian industry. There is a strong emphasis on preparing students for the practical realities of industrial design, including project management, visualisation, prototyping, and understanding client needs. This course suits those with an interest in creativity, problem-solving, and bringing ideas to life in physical and digital environments.
Australian industrial design graduates are well regarded for their technical know-how and adaptability. Work rights for international students permit up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, subject to current government settings. Applicants should confirm unit structures, detailed course requirements, and admission criteria on the official Griffith page.
It typically takes 3 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$126,000 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
