The design professions touch all areas of modern life - news and print media, the Internet and electronic media, consumer and technical products, furniture and interior fittings, exhibitions, and interior architecture.
The Department of Design offers degree courses in industrial design, and visual communication (graphic design) and interior architecture.
Monash is one of the few tertiary art institutions in Australia to include art and design within the same Faculty, which benefits students of both disciplines. First-year design students, for example, study a core unit in perceptual drawing, an invaluable skill for use in rapid concept development and visual research in later years. Design students also study digital imaging within the Faculty's sophisticated new Digital Imaging and Multimedia Design Studio.
