PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS

Looking to achieve an applied qualification in a specialist area to complement your existing design degree or experience? Perhaps you are a professional designer or practitioner wishing to develop practical skills and studio project experience to build on your existing knowledge?

Either way, this programme provides the ideal solution. New Zealand's future is being designed by people like you! Play your part by designing new products, innovating ideas, tackling social issues and creating commercial success. As the global population increases so does the demand for clever and practical designers to find solutions to material problems. Designers work in a broad range of creative areas and your skills will be highly valued by a variety of companies. A design qualification will open the doors to an endless array of opportunities. You may find yourself in an exciting industry you never imagined (it might not even exist yet)!

Within your specific discipline area - Communication, Fashion or Product - you will initially focus on a series of first and second year Bachelor of Design courses to complement and enhance your existing abilities and to help you meet your individual goals. The skills you develop will then be applied during your selected third year courses and within your final projects which could include film-making, fashion communication or accessory design. Choose to study at one of New Zealand's most innovative and progressive design schools and benefit from our modern workshop facilities, strong links with the local, national and international design community and the chance to showcase your creative talent through numerous talks, exhibitions and events.    

The July intake is available for students in the following specialties (Communication or Fashion) - please contact pamh@op.ac.nz for more details.
