Course details

Bachelor of Design / Bachelor of Global Studies Conjoint
NZQF Level 7

About the course

New and emerging technologies have brought the world closer together. Cultural, ethical and political implications of emerging products, services and technologies need to be considered during all phases of development. The BDes/BGlobalSt conjoint will expand your approach to design solutions and the way they can be implemented around the world.

While exploring cultural interactions, learning a language and engaging with global politics, you will discover how design and prototyping benefit from being informed by international contexts.

You will learn how to think critically, build strong intercultural communication skills and develop new ways of thinking about the world. This knowledge will be valuable in any organisation operating internationally.
