Design Studios on Open Day

UNSW Art & Design Open Day at our Paddington Campus on Saturday 5 September is the best way to experience what it’s like to be a  Bachelor of Design (Hons) student because you can explore our comprehensive range of open studio spaces, workshops and production facilities while students are actually working in them.

You’ll see how students at A&D engage in design thinking and cutting-edge practices to develop a unique creative voice. You’ll see design in the making and get the opportunity to talk to students and staff while they’re creating, collaborating and completing their works. 

Access to cutting edge studios, traditional and contemporary practice, and digital technology underpinned by a collaborative atmosphere will develop your knowledge, skills and capacities for design thinking, social innovation and entrepreneurship. You’ll be well equipped to build your own pathway and establish yourself as a confident design professional able to engage fully with contemporary design practice.
