What it isThis program combines studio art, architectural design, and materials science to explore how buildings and spaces are created and experienced. You'll study drawing, design principles, and the physical properties of construction materials alongside art history and theory. It suits students who want to work creatively with built environments — whether designing buildings, creating installations, or working in architectural practice — rather than pursuing fine art or architecture alone.You study the design and creation of jewellery and textiles using both traditional craft techniques and modern materials. Unlike a purely fine art program, this combines artistic vision with practical knowledge of how materials behave and how to construct wearable or functional pieces. It suits people who want to make things with their hands, enjoy experimenting with colour and form, and see themselves as artist-craftspeople rather than purely visual artists.Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.You earn two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Business Administration or Commerce focused on sports management, and a Bachelor of Education that qualifies you to teach. This concurrent program means you study business courses in sports organizations alongside education coursework and practice teaching, all in four years instead of five or six. It suits people who want to teach physical education or work in sports administration and prefer completing both qualifications together.
