Digital Design Level 2 - Blended Delivery (Dual Enrolment)

Discover new creative opportunities using digital tools.

Dual Enrolment programmes are FREE if you're in Years 11, 12 or 13 and a great way to earn NCEA credits and get a feel for tertiary study, while you’re still at school.

This course will suit you if you’re interested in a career in digital creative design and you have some prior experience of gaming, digital media or IT. It’s centred around projects that make use of Unreal Engine. You’ll gain an understanding of established design ideas and methods; learn drawing techniques; explore design principles and develop ideas through a series of drawings.

Students attend classes at the Madras Campus one day per week (9am – 3pm) for the duration of the programme, as well as being able to complete work remotely between classes in the iQualify online learning platform.
