Department Objectives

The Department offers programmes that examine the broad vision or culture of design within contemporary society.

The Design Major, formerly known as Design Art, is located primarily within the disciplines of image, object-making and screen-based media in design practice with an emphasis on the study of material culture. Digital technologies are integrated into the creative process to serve as strategies and tools for enhanced communication, application, representation and dissemination.

The Computation Arts programmes, formerly known as Digital Image/Sound and the Fine Arts, are concentrated within the digital and virtual environments where computer technology is embedded in all stages of the creative process and production. The internet as a system for communication in information and networked societies serves as the intersection that strongly links the disciplines of Design and Computation Arts. Students are encouraged to take courses across Design and Computation Arts.
