The MCGD is a one-year degree that stresses graphic design theory and original research. The MCGD is an opportunity to plan, develop and carry out a large scale design thesis realisation based on original research, collaboration with peers, members of the professional design industry and academic communities, in order to advance the body of design knowledge.
MCGD research is represented by both a written thesis and an exhibited design realisation. The written thesis and thesis realisation are two expressions of the same research and are thus assessed as a single unit. This arrangement reflects the symbiotic link between theory and practice in this discipline.
There is no option to take a written only or a realisation only MCGD. There is an option to take an approved taught paper alongside your research.
To enrol in the MCGD you must have completed the Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design (Honours) or equivalent.
