The Bachelor of Arts in Design Studies is a dynamic, interdisciplinary program that offers a robust foundation in both the practical and theoretical aspects of design.
As students embark on this academic journey, they engage with a curriculum that develops their fundamental design skills and introduces them to advanced design software and technology. The program fosters a deep understanding of design thinking methodologies, enabling students to tackle complex problems with innovative solutions. Moreover, students delve into the rich history and theory of design, exploring its socio-cultural, political and technological influences. This comprehensive approach ensures that graduates are not only proficient in design techniques but also appreciate the broader context of their work.
US universities use a holistic admissions review. Beyond grades and standardized test scores, they weigh the strength of your overall profile to understand who you are as a student and a person.
Profile Assessment: Creative-field applicants may be assessed through academic preparation, creative ability, visual thinking and, where required, a portfolio. The portfolio may include finished work as well as sketches, experimentation, process development and written explanations. Architecture may value Mathematics, Physics, drawing and spatial thinking, while Art, Design and Fashion programs may place greater emphasis on originality, technical development and the creative process.Advanced Placement(AP) Guidance: AP availability depends on the student's school. Relevant APs can strengthen an application and may earn university credit, but are not compulsory unless the university or programme explicitly requires them.Essays & recommendations: Personal essays and teacher/counselor recommendations give context to your achievements and help demonstrate fit with the program.Design Firm Project Manager
