Why Study Our Bachelor of Design Arts?

Increasingly contemporary designers cross over multiple design fields throughout their career or closely collaborate across the creative spectrum. If you have a keen interest in Design and Art, you will be aware of the many ‘collabs’ between different artists and designers or artists that cross the boundaries into design.

The Bachelor of Design Arts (BDA) offered by LCI Melbourne, supports people to be creative professionals, seeking opportunities to collaborate and able to curate a varied and interesting lifelong career as a design professional, across multiple fields.

Like the Bauhaus practitioners whose philosophy underpins our teaching and program design, we “reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts”. Our degree is not about competition between design fields and art but cross-pollinating one degree.

We encourage our students to work collaboratively and bring their unique professional attributes to common projects. For example, our photography students take the model shots for our fashion student’s collections, our graphic design students develop branding and logos for interior design students. It happens all the time when you bring creative people together.

Why is the BDA Only Two Years?

We responded to the demand from students who want to join the profession with- out delay. We designed the degree to deliver six trimesters in two years without compromising on the learning by reducing the semester breaks and starting and finishing later in the year.
