Foundation Program (091322F) + Diploma of Design (056514M)

Program Description The Foundation Program is designed for students that haven’t yet completed their high school education to Australian Year 12 standard, or equivalent. With small class sizes, teachers are able to provide a high level of personal attention, helping students develop the confidence and study structure for academic success.

The Foundation Program has been designed to prepare students for a diploma or degree in Arts, Education, Business, Commerce, Design, Engineering, Health, Hotel Management, Information Technology and Science. It’s structured to be completed over two trimesters (8 months), with English language, academic communication skills a central focus, along with computer skills and intercultural studies.

Once students complete course requirements for the Foundation Program, students can continue on into their diploma of choice.

If students love visual creativity, the Diploma of Design is the perfect way to develop the skills they need to kickstart their career.

Practical projects will help students fine-tune their artistic abilities and harness new technology. Theoretical studies in design thinking and problem solving will enable students to approach challenges with structure and confidence.

After learning the fundamentals of design across multiple disciplines, including graphic design, visualisation, studio art, 3D design and interior design, students will be able to progress to a more specific creative degree at Griffith’s Queensland College of Art.
