Bachelor of Design (Honours)

Become a designer and make the world a better place. Massey’s College of Creative Arts in Wellington offers a broad range of programmes in concept design, fashion design, industrial design, integrated design, photography, spatial design, textile design, and visual communication design. With a history that can be traced back to 1886, our School of Design is the largest design school in New Zealand, and has produced many of our country’s most renowned designers. As a Massey design student, you will spend most of your time making and thinking in studios, workshops and media labs, whatever your major. There are many opportunities to explore other design fields through electives and cross-disciplinary collaboration is encouraged. There is also a focus on real world problem-solving, and students in their fourth year have the opportunity to engage with live briefs and external clients. All Design degree students enrol in honours. Towards the end of third year, you decide whether you want to stick with the honours route, where your fourth year will be strongly research-led. The non-honours path is less research-focused and gives you room for more electives in fourth year.
