In the award-winning Associate Degree in Design (Furniture Design), students will learn to develop creative and original furniture designs with a strong grounding in design methods, manufacturing technologies and processes informed by cultural and social factors.

In this degree, students will work on combining real-life industry projects and design theory with a hands-on focus on production to create sustainable contemporary modern furniture products. It teaches students to investigate contemporary, cultural and environmental aspects of professional furniture design practice.

Students will gain the skills to explore design through real-world industry projects with highly-regarded design companies, and connect with Australian and international industry mentors who will work with them to provide feedback on the commercial viability of their design work.

As a graduate, students will have the opportunity to compete in local and international design competitions such as London Design Week, Fringe Furniture, The Edge (Sydney) and the Australian International Furniture Fair.
