About the course
AUT’s double degrees in design and business combine creative talents with business acumen. If you are looking for a career in design, these double degrees help you gain a solid foundation in business as part of your studies; essential if you are planning to run your own business or want to advance a product or service in the marketplace. The combination is offered in response to enquiries from students wishing to do both degrees. The Bachelor of Design delivers majors in Communication Design, Digital Design, Fashion Design, Industrial Design, Spatial Design and Textile Design, which give emerging designers the opportunity to advance their creative practice. Business majors that are particularly useful if you want to earn a living off your creative skills include Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Sustainable Enterprise, Marketing and Management.
By studying both degrees you develop design skills for roles in business, including the ability to create high value products, services and brands, and to balance creative design and strategic thinking to complement design and business.
You can complete these double degrees in four years if you enrol in Summer School papers and do the business co-operative education paper over Summer School at the end of your third or fourth year. Otherwise you will complete the double degrees during your fifth year.
