Bachelor of Commerce- Design Management

Design management refers to an approach whereby organisations make design-relevant decisions in a market and customer-oriented way as well as optimising design-relevant processes. It is a long-continuous comprehensive activity on all levels of business performance.

Design management acts in the interface of management and design and functions as link between the platforms of technology, design, design thinking, management and marketing at internal and external interfaces of the enterprise. 

To study to work in design management, there are two approaches: design and commerce. At Raffles College we offer both. You can do design management within our Bachelor of Commerce or, if you are more design-inclined, then you can also choose this major from our Bachelor of Design. You decide.
