About Bachelor Of Design Innovation – Bdi in Victoria University of Wellington
If you love good design—whether it be of objects, computer graphics, systems or experiences—and want to learn from a leading-edge university, then this is the right degree for you.
The Bachelor of Design Innovation (BDI) is a three-year undergraduate degree designed to prepare you for a career in one of the many expanding design-related industries.
At Victoria University of Wellington, Design is about innovation. While developing the skills and knowledge that industry currently demands, you'll also be pushing the limits and, in a sense, forging the future of design practice. During studio classes and seminars your teachers will show you how to take an experimental approach to design that encourages creative and thoughtful design solutions.
You'll major in one of six areas—Communication Design, Design for Social Innovation, Fashion Design Technology, Industrial Design, Interaction Design or Media Design. A feature of this degree is that it's cross-disciplinary, meaning you'll be encouraged to study and work with subject areas outside Design. This will make sure you gain a thorough grounding in design and its connections with the real world.
