Design Education

Design education has become a major growth area in both secondary and tertiary education.

The education of designers requires teachers, lecturers and tutors with knowledge in the many subject areas that designers must study. It also requires experienced designers in each design discipline who are able to pass on the realities of professional practice.

Design educators may have qualifications in a design discipline or in one of the subjects that make up the curriculum. They may additionally have qualifications in teaching.
