About the course

A major in Integrated Design equips you with the capacity to apply your imagination to address contemporary issues in an independent and creative way. Design is a speculative discipline, meaning the use of imagination is central to the way different technologies and methods are used to create drawings, models and prototypes. As part of the creative process, you will undertake collaborative work on multidisciplinary projects with a variety of individuals. Practical studies are supported by investigations into design communication and sustainable design, as well as considerations of relevant historical and ethical issues relating to design. You'll benefit from UWA’s investments in cutting-edge model-making and prototyping technologies including laser cutters, 'maker-bots', a well-equipped workshop and a 3D model maker.

University of Vermont

UVM thinks big and inspires others to do the same.

"Words can't explain how amazing exchange was. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was extremely rewarding meeting so many new people who will be friends for life. Burlington is very picturesque and laidback. It is a great college town. Only having to pass made it a lot easier to travel and experience college life. If Vermont isn't your first choice, I recommend it because it was a truly incredible experience. " Ellen Buckley,Bachelor of Commerce – Accounting and Finance, 2016
