M58 Master of Design (Display and Events)

The Master of Design (Display and Events) is a fee-paying, three-semester full-time programme for both Australian and overseas students. It is a vocationally-based degree aimed at students who wish to extend their design skills and gain expertise in Display, Event, and Exhibition Design and management.
 
The course offers a unique career combination of Design and project development skills; providing an understanding of design practices and the context in which both commercial and cultural organizations operate. It addresses the training needs of designers who wish to work within the field of commercial display, public event, and exhibition design, building the knowledge and specific skills required to practice in this ever-growing global industry. Students will be encouraged to develop their creativity, aesthetic skills, and technical expertise in their specific/specialised discipline or to be more interdisciplinary and acquire enhanced knowledge, practical abilities, and transferable skills on a broader front.
 
Specifically, upon completion of the course it is expected that graduates will:

  • demonstrate knowledge of design principles in relation to exhibition, event, and display design;
  • demonstrate critical and analytical skills in the development of design projects; and,
  • combine design skills with design management skills.
