About Billy Blue

Billy Blue began as a school of illustration, but the college has since expanded its scope into all disciplines of design and has become an active, vibrant creative community.

In recent years the design industry has experienced vast change. Design is now so much more than creating beautiful things; it's all about generating ideas to solve a wide range of problems. Billy Blue has kept pace with these changes to ensure it offers its students the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the current industry.

Billy Blue produces 'thinkers who can do'. No matter which design discipline you decide to pursue, or which campus you choose to study at, you'll learn to think, make and connect. In your chosen area, you'll acquire the relevant knowledge and skills, gain valuable hands-on experience and collaborate with other students and our talented educators, many of whom are industry leaders. You'll learn what it really means to think creatively to offer solutions - brands, products, systems and environments – that have the potential to shape how we live. And of course you'll be surrounded by likeminded individuals who will inspire your own creativity.
