Our University Partnership

Billy Blue has established a very important partnership for the delivery of degree programs at its campus in Sydney. In choosing Swinburne University of Technology, we made a deliberate decision to work with the very best provider in design education. This partnership is supported by strict quality control procedures to ensure that course delivery is equal to that of the university.

Please note: This program is only available to overseas students.

Faculty of Design

"The Faculty of Design, Swinburne University of Technology, has been a partner with the Billy Blue School of Graphic Arts since 2001. Our combined delivery of the Bachelor of Design programs in Sydney demonstrates our absolute measure of confidence in the organisation. The programs signal our greatest possible endorsement (this is the only degree program offered by the Faculty of Design with an interstate partner in Australia).

The Billy Blue culture epitomises many of the characteristics and values held in high regard by the Faculty of Design. We fully endorse their strong industry connectivity and relevant experiential mode of education delivered by professional designers within quality teaching and learning programs. Billy Blue offers a positive, well-constructed environment in which innovation and an enthusiasm for learning is shared by the staff and student body."

Our partnership with Swinburne University’s Faculty of Design began with the development of two 3rd Year programs at Billy Blue: Bachelor of Design (Communication Design) and Bachelor of Design (Multimedia Design). The programs have been developed by Swinburne University’s Faculty of Design and are delivered at the Billy Blue campus in North Sydney. Both programs are managed by the Faculty of Design in partnership with Billy Blue program coordinators and lecturers.

The Degrees are awarded by Swinburne University’s Faculty of Design and are widely recognised by the visual communications industry, nationally and internationally, as being of the highest standard. Both programs educate students to be high level designers and communicators through a wide variety of visual communications projects, through contextual projects and professional studies.

The reputation of the programs and the knowledge and experience students gain help place them among the leading design graduates in Australia and overseas. As a next step in our partnership, we are delivering Master of Design programs in both the Communication Design stream and Multimedia Design stream.
