Graphic Design and New Media

Introduction

BINUS UNIVERSITY’s Graphic Design and New Media (GDNM) Program is committed to shaping the next generation of creative leaders in the growing design industry. As Indonesia and the ASEAN region continue to experience rapid development, the need for designers who can think critically, communicate visually, and innovate across media has become increasingly vital.

This four-year undergraduate program begins with a strong foundation in art and design, followed by advanced coursework that enhances students’ creative and technical abilities. The curriculum emphasizes both conceptual understanding and practical application, ensuring graduates are prepared to meet the evolving demands of the global creative economy.

Students may choose between two specialized specializations: Graphic Design and Interactive Digital Media.

• The Graphic Design (Visual Design for Swinburne) stream explores visual communication through identity design, branding, packaging, publications, and campaign work.
• The Interactive Digital Media (Interaction Design for Swinburne) stream focuses on crafting user-centered digital experiences, including web design, mobile interfaces, and screen-based interactive medium.

Throughout the program, students gain hands-on experience through project-based learning and studio practice. By the end of their studies, they will have developed a strong portfolio and the interdisciplinary mindset required to succeed in a fast-changing creative landscape.

As part of its global learning pathways, the GDNM Program offers international collaborations with leading universities across multiple continents. In Australia, the program partners with Swinburne University of Technology, providing students with the opportunity to pursue a study-abroad pathway in specialized areas such as Photomedia, Communication Design, Motion Design, and UX/Interaction Design. In the United Kingdom, the program maintains a long-standing partnership with Northumbria University, Newcastle, under a new 3+1 dual-degree scheme. Students who complete their three years at BINUS may continue their final year at Northumbria University, where they will earn a BA (Hons) Graphic Design degree upon completion. These cross-cultural academic experiences not only enrich students’ global perspectives but also enhance their competitiveness in the international creative industry, equipping them with a broader understanding of design thinking from both Eastern and Western traditions.
