Studio Practice 3 | Federation University

COMMD2003 Studio Practice 3

This course of Communication Design extends theories and practice building on the foundation of first year studies. Sequential, interrelated projects are taught covering a wide variety of design activities. Students continue to refine their knowledge of verbal and visual graphic design vocabulary through research, experience and critical analysis. The focus on a student¿s ability for exploration, experimentation and self-discovery is increased so that the creation and manipulation of imagery is at an intermediate level. Students are required to respond to certain themes, ideas and contexts which involve research and planning in order to produce creative responses. Specific skills in time based media and knowledge in digital print production are introduced. These studies are conducted in a studio environment consisting of lectures, projects, individual experience and peer interaction.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $2,384
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,993

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
