Course Overview

The Honours Bachelor of Brand Design is a four-year degree program that responds to the rapidly changing world of graphic design by preparing students to be forward-looking brand designers with strengths in collaboration, research, critical and strategic thinking, technical design execution, and brand storytelling. It is built on multidisciplinary pillars of research, critical thinking, strategic brand development, technical design execution, and brand storytelling.

Brands are more than logos or sales tactics, they are carefully developed relationships between the brand makers and audiences – a brand is a promise to follow through on a purpose and a set of values that taken together express how someone perceives an organization or product. The Honours Bachelor of Brand Design degree is an opportunity to build a knowledgeable creative community of collaborators and strategic designers who are able to bridge business strategy, technology, and the design world in order to produce innovative brand experiences.

Graduates of the Honours Bachelor of Brand Design degree program will have the analytical and technical skills to:

  • Communicate and evolve the brand through the design of visual and physical, online and offline identities and experiences.

  • Write, visualize and translate the brand story across these touchpoints and engage long-term with the emotions of audiences.
