Students who hold advanced diplomas have completed a set number of courses, determined by the focus of study and the university. Generally speaking, these programs take about three years to complete.

What is an advanced diploma in design studies? Graduates who earn this diploma take numerous classes in visual communication before selecting a more specific field and narrowing their studies. Possible focuses include digital design, graphic design and fashion or interior design. Some students keep a broad focus with their course work and study multiple artistic elements like drawing and animation. Whatever the specified medium, students often learn many practical skills by working with the tools and instruments used by professionals in their chosen field.

Graduates with advanced diplomas in design often have displayed talent and a discerning eye in relation to their areas of expertise. These courses provide students with the opportunity to work on projects that can later become part of their professional portfolio.

There isn’t a set standard for the number of units needed to receive an advanced diploma, so costs will vary depending on the specified focus and the school offering the program. Contact a university directly to find out more about expenses.
