University of Technology Sydney has a strong academic faculty in Design and Architecture. The Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication can best be described as a study of graphic design. The key learning of this course is the idea of ‘critical thinking’ which involves a research and empathy based approach to thinking about design solutions. The course also facilitates the growth of your design practice with the help of experienced tutors from industry. Whilst a portion of my studies was hampered by COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions (understandably so) the fact that I would love to continue my studies through Honours goes to show how much I have enjoyed the learning experience after being able to go back on campus.
