The BSE program in construction engineering is designed for students who wish to gain a professional engineering licence while working at the interface of design and construction, and it is attractive for students interested in a career that emphasises the construction of infrastructure. The degree program includes engineering design and construction management courses with a focus on sustainability and building information modelling topics.
The BS program in construction management and technology allows students to specialise in construction and facility management. Students learn to organise, lead and manage the building construction business processes related to real estate, facility and infrastructure projects. Construction management is the most vital function on a job site. Construction managers represent the interests of the building owner or the contractor and interact with architects, engineers, subcontractors, vendors and suppliers to ensure the success of construction projects in the built environment.
The BSD in industrial design at The Design School prepares students to envision the future by following the process of ideating, iterating, developing, testing and prototyping new products, services and strategies. Students use interdisciplinary learning to turn creative ideas into successful projects for society. The program's students have a strong commitment to the environment and the human being; they centre their approaches on delivering solutions that are beneficial for society, with a strong sense of humanity, empowered by the latest trends and technologies, always looking to get a positive impact on every scale.
The preprofessional BSD program in architectural studies offered by The Design School helps students understand architecture as both a cultural expression and technical achievement, and it offers an interdisciplinary approach to architecture. Students are prepared for alternative practices with architecture firms and in related fields such as landscape architecture, engineering, art, construction, urban planning, urban design and historic preservation, or for graduate studies in the professional Master of Architecture, in business fields or in law.
Civil engineering involves the analysis, planning, design, construction, maintenance and application of sustainable practices in all areas of urban infrastructure for government, commerce, industry and the public domain. Civil engineers are concerned with the impact their projects have on the public and the environment; they coordinate the needs of society with technical and economic feasibility.
Architecture and the building industry are rapidly changing, and professionals need to be more effectively prepared to innovate and challenge a workforce that is far more dynamic, complex and diverse than it was 20 years ago. Professional architecture firms and offices no longer specialise in building design only, having expanded into related fields which is compelling architecture education to become more comprehensive and advanced than ever.
The MSE in construction engineering is a transdisciplinary degree program that encompasses the areas of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, construction engineering and management-related topics. This focus on a combination of design and management prepares the student for a career at the interface of design and construction. Students who are interested in a career emphasising construction of infrastructure find this program especially desirable.
The MID in industrial design is a studio-based program in which students learn to design new products, systems, services, experiences or businesses by envisioning the future. Students engage in research, brainstorming, idea visualization, prototyping and testing creative solutions that address different stakeholders' challenges while facing a new competitive industry environment. During the program, students are encouraged to work in a transdisciplinary way to harness creativity to resolve problems and co-create solutions to improve the user experience, capturing value for the industry while being responsible for the environment.
The MIA program in The Design School is a studio-based degree program that provides a focused experience for students with an undergraduate degree in interior design or architecture. For students without this background, an additional three semesters of study are available. Focusing on the development of groundbreaking design solutions to contemporary and emergent societal issues such as sustainability and community engagement, this program draws upon history, theory and criticism to inform a collaborative, evidence-based approach to the design of interior environments. This provides a foundation of transdisciplinary learning to assist in the understanding of integrated practice.
The MLA program at The Design School is an accredited graduate professional degree that prepares students for professional practice, advanced study and leadership in landscape architecture. The master's degree integrates knowledge from arts, science and technology and trains students to design our built environment through integrated systems thinking and transdisciplinary knowledge and skills, and cultivates capacity in working with communities to address pressing issues such as climate change and environmental justice.
