Global Thinking

Led by a faculty of industry professionals, students develop a conceptual and practical foundation to their practice as well as a relevant industry perspective and a pre-established network. We open our doors and share our work with designers around the world, to challenge current thinking in the design industries and expand practice. Whitehouse students are innovative thinkers, who have the capability to introduce innovative, sustainable and experimental designs into today’s global industry.

Small Class Sizes

Students benefit from small class sizes in many ways. A small class size allows students to absorb more, while learning faster. Lecturers and students have more one-on-one time, allowing students to receive personalised and in-depth instruction and feedback. Students work closely with their peers, learning how to wok in a team and developing life-long friendships. Learn more about student life here.

Melbourne Campus

My exchange with Bunka University in Japan has given me a global understanding of design, which enriches my studies at Whitehouse. This valuable understanding gives more context to my work, more experiences to relate to and backs up my design choices.
