A bachelor's degree in design will take your curiosity about how products are created and used, and apply theoretical knowledge, making you more knowledgeable. Design degrees normally take between 3 and 4 years to complete, when studied full-time. During a design degree you will get to study both the basics of design, as well as specialisations, like product design, fashion design and sound design, among others.

Tuition fees for international students will vary depending on the country you choose to study in, but you might be eligible for financial assistance, such as scholarships or grants. Design graduates can choose to pursue postgraduate studies, or take a job role in the design field. Job roles could include brand and marketing manager, gallery curator, or architect.
