Diploma of Graphic Design
Greenwich College, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
Greenwich College holds CRICOS registration (course code 116132B) for a Diploma of Graphic Design under the national code CUA50720, a 68-week qualification with an estimated total course cost of AU$18,750. Unlike the rest of Greenwich's catalogue, this course currently has no dedicated marketing page on greenwichcollege.edu.au, so this listing draws on the qualification's official government registration data rather than Greenwich's own course-page copy.
CUA50720 reflects the role of practitioners who combine technical, creative and conceptual skills to produce designs that meet client requirements and solve visual communication challenges, working across both print and digital media. Typical job roles associated with the qualification include graphic designer and studio manager, with pathways into related design and creative-industry roles. Note that CUA50720 was marked superseded on the national training register effective 12 August 2025; Greenwich's CRICOS listing has not yet been updated to a successor code as of this review, which may reflect a permitted teach-out period rather than a discontinuation.
Field of education: Creative Arts, Graphic and Design Studies. Course level: Diploma.
