Bachelor of Design

A Bachelor of Design (BDes or B.Design) degree is usually an undergraduate degree in the field of design awarded for a course or major that generally lasts three or four years. It is the undergraduate equivalent of the Master of Design, MDes. Bachelor of Design degrees have been popular in Canada and Australia for several decades and are gaining popularity in the United States as discipline-specific design education expands and becomes more specialized. There are several variants of the Bachelor of Design degree, including the Bachelor of Design Arts and the Bachelor of Design Studies.

The degree is offered in Canada, Australia, India, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. In Canada and Australia, the introduction of the BDes accompanied a period in which several art colleges gained university status and degree-conferring authority. Specializations vary by institution and may include fields such as graphic design, industrial design, fashion design and interior design. Accreditation standards and program structures vary by country.
