Units Download course structures and unit outlines for Bachelor of Design (Honours) (Fashion) Customise your degree Your fashion design course consists of 17 units in your primary major and four units that are common to all six design majors (architectural studies, fashion, industrial design, interactive and visual design, interior design or landscape architecture). An additional eight units are taken outside your primary major. After studying for a year you can: choose a second major (eight units from any approved QUT degree), or choose two minors (a minor is a specific set of four units drawn from courses throughout QUT), or choose one minor and four electives. Minors and majors allow you to tailor your studies to suit your interests and career aspirations. Minors give you breadth of knowledge from two other areas and a second major provides depth in one area. This means eight units of your course (one quarter of your degree) are taken from outside your primary major. You’ll work alongside students from other disciplines because that is how it will be when you graduate and work in the real world of design. The possibilities are almost endless. Here are some examples that might inspire ideas: a landscape architecture student could take a language minor such as Italian to help them work an architecture student could take a minor in interior design and a work integrated learning minor to gain professional industry experience overseas an interior design student could take a second major in industrial design to aid their ambition to design and manufacture their own range of office furniture an industrial design student could take a second major in mechanical or electrical engineering to give them a deeper understanding of manufacturing and production a fashion student could take a minor in business and another in interior design to help meet their dream of launching their own concept fashion store an interactive and visual design student could take a second major in advertising or marketing and work as a designer for a leading digital agency. And remember—your second major or minors could be in film, creative writing,music, visual arts, drama or other disciplines across QUT.# Your course Year 1 study materials, skills and processes of twenty-first century fashion design introduction to conceptual design practice develop core skills in fashion presentation learn about key ideas in design history and sustainability Year 2 focus on real-world design briefs informed by design history and industry learn skills in technical production and communication in the fashion industry start your complementary major or minor in design, business or communication develop professional skills in fashion presentation Year 3 apply research to cutting-edge design practices forge your creative design identity learn project management skills continue complementary studies in design, business or communication Year 4 work collaboratively and individually on a year-long creative design project showcase your project to industry professionals and the public develop a professional portfolio to launch your career Second degree Undertaking a second major in one of the six design disciplines also gives you the option of obtaining a second degree*. After graduation, you can return to complete the remaining 12 units (or equivalent) from your second major to obtain a second qualification. This is usually undertaken part time over two years while working. Note: This is not a double degree because it is not undertaken simultaneously with the first degree. Example A student completes a Bachelor of Design (Honours) (Industrial Design) with a second major in interactive and visual design.  They can then return to complete units in interactive and visual design and graduate with a second design degree in interactive and visual design. * To pursue a second design degree, this second major must be an approved set of eight units from within a Bachelor of Design (Honours) primary major. # The choice of second majors may be limited in some disciplines. Study overseas Study overseas while gaining credit towards your QUT creative industries degree with one of our worldwide exchange partners. Overseas study can be for one or two semesters (or during the semester break) and the units you take can be in a creative or non-creative discipline area, depending on how they match with your QUT course. Saving your electives for exchange will allow you the most flexibility. For more information, visit QUT student exchange.
