Master of Philosophy (Design)

The University of Newcastle has earned a strong reputation for delivering quality programs in the areas of creative and performing arts, communication, digital media, natural history illustration, visual design and music. In 2017, we officially launched the fusion of all of the University of Newcastle's creative disciplines to form the School of Creative Industries. We collaborate with our partners across the spectrum of creative professions to drive innovations that contribute to the cultural and economic transformation of our regions. Our degrees prepare graduates to expand their creative talents and develop hands-on skills that are relevant and in demand across the creative industries. Doctor of Philosopy (PhD) and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) students in the School of Creative Industries are preparing themselves for the world that we all know is just around the corner; a future where creativity, innovation and collaboration converge in an interdisciplinary global landscape. Opportunities will depend on the ability to produce ideas, knowledge and skills for a world where the 'not yet known' demands innovation and creative thinking.
