Why Art Design & Architecture?

By studying art, design or architecture, you can develop the knowledge and skills to make your vision come alive.

Art, design and architecture studies lead to careers that are flexible and dynamic. Graduates from these disciplines have strong visual communication skills and the ability to think creatively. As inquisitive individuals, they develop innovative solutions to improve the world around them and contribute to the social discourse.

Art, design and architecture students have designed products to help people with disabilities, created installations that comment on social issues and developed emergency relief structures. The applications for these skills are limitless.

Creative professionals, from artists and architects to animators and industrial designers, shape where and how we live, the products we use and culture we consume. With an art, design or architecture degree, a world of opportunities, and the opportunity to change the world, await you.

“What I enjoy most about Monash is the freedom to choose any design discipline you want to study and really take an

interdisciplinary approach to your degree.

“As a communication design student, I’m not just restricted to computer

generated animations and graphics, but I’m also encouraged to study other

areas such as drawing, sculpting, photography or illustration.”

More than just a degree

A guide to choice

Flexibility— AND —

ChoiCe

Range of majors

A comprehensive course is flexible and evolves as your interests develop in particular directions.

You can start with units from a range of study areas and through your choices progressively focus on one or two majors and minors.

Monash guides you through this process so you graduate with a degree that combines breadth and depth of expertise relevant to your interests and aspirations. Your degree may show your majors.

Specialist focus

A specialist course offers you focus and depth through specialisation In your area of interest from the start of your studies.

Some undergraduate specialist courses are designed to prepare you to practice in a specified regulated profession upon graduation. Others concentrate on developing particular expertise but may be applicable to a broader range of careers options.

You will graduate with a degree that reflects your chosen specialisation.

two Courses STUDIED CONCURRENTLY

Double degree course

A double degree course lets you gain skills in two different areas of interest such as arts and law or science and engineering.

This lets you tailor your qualification to fit your diverse interests and talents and doubles your options when you graduate.

Double degree courses can take up to two years less than if you took the two courses one after the other. This is because the electives from each degree course count towards the other.

You will graduate with two distinct degrees.

Professional entry graduate courses

Some courses at Monash prepare you for direct entry to a profession upon graduation with a bachelor’s degree.

However, a professional entry postgraduate course also prepares you for entry to a regulated profession after you have completed your bachelor’s degree. These are usually master’s degrees.

Fields where we offer professional entry courses for graduates include architecture, law, accounting, teaching and nursing. In some professional fields, including law, teaching and nursing, we offer you both options.

At Monash, we let you choose how you study.

We offer a range of courses that offer different professional outcomes. We’ll be there to guide you through all the possibilities, so you can graduate with an internationally recognised qualification that can take you anywhere.

Take advantage of our global perspective, exceptional facilities, world class teachers and industry-based learning.

If you’d like to discuss your options call us on 1800 MONASH (666274) or email future@monash.edu and let us help you make your choice.

EARLY speCialisation

ArchitectureArchitecture is the core discipline of the built environment. Architecture professionals provide leadership in the design and construction of the built environment, and the design of internal spaces to facilitate a specific user experience.

Fine ArtFine Art encompasses the creation, critique and analysis of art. The best fine art functions like a mirror providing insight into the complexities of the world around us. The principle role of artists is to increase the collective awareness of where we are and how we relate to each other.

Architecture

Architectural Design

Architects don’t just shape our built environment. They influence where and how we live, study, work and play. Successful architecture can revitalise a city, make housing affordable or help us live more sustainable lives.

By combining their creative vision with technical expertise, architects develop innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing our built environment.

Interior Architecture

Interior Architecture professionals design spatial experiences by combining their understanding of how people engage with the world, with their knowledge of structures, spaces and environments.They create spaces that communicate ideas, shared values and stories.

Small classes

Edwina Brisbane, Architecture Assistant at Craig tan Architecture. Bachelor of Architectural design/Master of Architecture – Graduated 2012

“The nature of the program at MADA is intimate and flexible and this fostered creative risk taking and the individual development of each student. Because the classes are small, individual opinions are valued. I developed the ability to critically evaluate my design decisions and understand those of others.”

We understand architecture as a creative discipline, which is why we offer our architecture program alongside our fine art and design courses. We foster your development as an imaginative and innovative architect who collaborates with other creative professionals.

Bachelor of Architectural Design/ Master of Architecture and Bachelor of Architectural Design Scholars ProgramAt MADA, over half your degree is undertaken in the design studio where you construct models and build full-scale structures, both in class and in the community. You can also experiment with diverse materials in our glass, metals and woodwork studios.

In the Design-Make studio, you work with a visiting architect to design and build a public structure. In 2013 students designed and constructed a sculptural temporary pavilion using fabric, perspex and plastic, with the support of local architectural firm Grimshaw. The finished form was used as a chillout space at the Listen Out music festival, and then reconstructed on campus for MADA Now, the annual graduate show.

Bachelor of Interior ArchitectureStudio units are the main component of your interior architecture study. In the studio you explore the materiality of space, structure, objects and furniture, and you learn how spatial design can facilitate engagement and interaction. You also gain architectural and construction knowledge so you can confidently create complex interiors.

Many of your studio projects involve real organisations, so you develop solutions for existing spaces. Students have designed solutions for a performative space for Phillip Adam’s Melbourne-based dance company, BalletLab, and an extension for the inner city rooftop bar, The Loop.

Throughout the course you take your designs from 2D concepts to 3D inhabitable environments. By working full scale, you discover how your choice of materials and construction methods influence the final outcome.

Best of all, our interior architecture course includes a work placement program, so you can put your skills and knowledge into practice and develop invaluable industry connections

DESIGN20

Design

Communication Design

As print, screen and interactive media converge and new technologies continue to develop designers must be competent vidual communicators who can work across a multitude of platforms; from traditional print to digital media and motion graphics.

Communication designers work with colour, sound and spatial forums, across a broad range of communication processes – from posters, books and digital publications, to interactive information design and 3D animation.

Successful communication designers have the confidence to adapt as our world changes around us.

Industrial Design

Industrial designers embrace art and technology. When designing objects, they create form in response to function and explore methods of manufacturing.

Industrial designers develop consumer and industrial products that improve society, enrich our culture and contribute to our economy – from furniture and smart phones, to domestic appliances and public transport.

By applying their understanding of materials, manufacturing and how people use products, industrial designers combine technical innovation with aesthetics to create beautiful, functional products.

DESIGN 21

Bachelor of Communication DesignAt MADA you complete half your communication design studies in the studio. You have the freedom to explore your own visual processes and methods of design enquiry, so you become an independent designer with a strong sense of self. Almost a quarter of your studies are electives, so you develop a graduate folio that reflects your unique career goals. From branding to animation, typography to interactive media, the choice is yours.

We combine visual communication, multimedia and motion graphics into one degree because we know industry needs innovative and adaptable designers who can design for the platform that best meets their needs.

We also have the best design team in Australia teaching your degree. With specialised design educators, such as Gene Bawden, the internationally acclaimed designer John Warwicker (Tomato), and regular visiting lecturers from industry, including Andrew Ashton (Work, Art, Life), our staff will nurture, mentor and support you.

monash.edu/mada/design/communication-3123.php

Bachelor of Industrial DesignOur degree at MADA nurtures you for the professional role of an industrial designer. We also equip you with the practical knowledge and technical skills that industrial designers use on a daily basis so you can confidently step straight from uni into industry and hit the ground running.

In the Industrial Design studios you learn to use design as a problem-solving tool to address issues of sustainability, usability, efficiency and innovation. You learn to work to a design brief as you will in industry. As you discover your strengths and interests, you can tailor your projects to create a portfolio that reflects your career goals.

Studio classes are hands-on by nature. In 2013, students made 3D printers in a project that brought together principles of innovation, craftsmanship and sustainability. Students repurpose parts sourced from old inkjet and laser printers and combined them with specialised circuitry and a few custom-built pieces to create their own 3D printer.

Think differently

Jared dettman - industrial design

“I find solace in good design when I am able to see how things work from a mechanical point of view. Allowing for a minimal take when form follows function, and exposing much of the internals of design is how I like to approach my ideas.”

“Monash teaches you how to think – both conceptually and critically…

the knowledge and thought processes I learned in my studies at Monash laid a foundation which has now allowed me to succeed across different design fields.”

Monash College – for international students Monash College

DiplomaThe Monash College Diploma of Art & Design is the preferred pathway into the Faculty of Art Design & Architecture at Monash University.

The program is designed to provide you with academic and practical skills required to succeed in your chosen degree, including folio development.

After successfully completing the Diploma and achieving the required marks, you will be guaranteed a place at the faculty of Art Design & Architecture.

For more information on the Diploma of Art & Design and for entry requirements visit: monashcollege.edu.au/diplomas

If you do not meet the English language requirement for direct entry into your art, design or architecture course you may receive a conditional offer for one of our two programs:

Monash English Bridging (MEB)

This program is ideal for students who have narrowly missed the English language requirement for direct entry. After successful completion of the 10 or 15 week program, you will move directly into your chosen Monash course without the need for an additional IELTS test.

Note: MEB is not accepted for entry into all degrees. Those who are ineligible should consider Monash English.

Monash English (ME)

This program is designed for students who require additional English language development to enter into either the Monash English Bridging or University courses. Course duration depends on your current English language proficiency and your preferred destination course. Intakes for Monash English occur every five weeks.
