Bachelor of Design - Program changes in 2026
From January 2026, changes to the Bachelor of Design program and the courses offered will be implemented.
Students commencing their studies in 2026 will be enrolled in the new program structure which will be delivered for the first time from 2026.
The program requirements and course lists are available online for students:
- Pre-2026 program requirements (ensure you change the year of commencement at the top of the page to the view the relevant year)
- New 2026 program requirements
What does this mean for current students?
Students who commenced prior to 2026 and have retained their place in that program, can complete their program in the existing structure or they may be able to choose to change to the new program. The choice to transition to the new program structure is yours – you can choose to stay enrolled in the current program structure if that is your preference.
The ADP staff are here to help you. This webpage alongside the following resources and support has been developed to guide you with the program changes:
- Start by watching the below presentation where your program convenor explains all the program and course changes as well as demonstrates how to complete the transition checklist and study plan.
- Review the tabs on this webpage to learn more about what this means for you and the answers to common questions.
- Transition checklists have been developed to assist you to make a plan for your enrolment, and are available at the end of this page. The checklist outlines your enrolment options for continuing in your current program or transitioning to the new program structure.
- Join the online Q&A session on Monday 14th July from 12-1pm to answer any general questions about these changes. The link to join has been sent to your student email.
- This padlet will be available until August 8th for students to post questions. The padlet should only be used for general questions. Any questions requiring individualised enrolment advice, checking individual study plans, etc. will require an academic advice appointment.
- Appointments are available with Academic Advisors for you to confirm your study plan and discuss any questions. See How do I make an appointment with the academic advisor?
