Bachelor of Design (B. Des.)- Immersive Digital Environments

The Bachelor of Design is a professional degree program for students who wish to work towards improving the inhabited spaces through experimental, experiential, and informed design processes. The program teaches students to imagine, propose, test and refine their ideas about how to live and dwell in the contemporary world and trains students in the knowledge systems that help anticipate changes in the future built environments (from domestic to urban scale). The program uniquely places student-centered inquiry as the core learning, through a sequential studio sequence culminating in a customized capstone design project. These courses are taught by internationally-trained design professors. The professional practice courses include new forms of social and technical knowledge: diversity, sustainability, digital representations, and professional ethics. Other features of the program comprise diverse, customizable electives, and a flexible system of minors in multiple subjects taught across schools within the university. This is a program for students with ambition, imagination, and curiosity who wish to imagine and lead the design of a better world, and wishes to become knowledgeable and influential future design professionals.


At present, the B. Des. program offers the Immersive Digital Environments Pathway, Interior Design Pathway, and Community & Urban Development Pathway after a common foundation year.
