DAB's three Schools have close industry and community connections, ensuring that courses and subjects remain contemporary and relevant.

Working with leading organisations that recognise the value of creativity and technology in driving results, DAB students have the opportunity to gain real world business skills and experience as part of their studies.

Students in their third and final years may elect to undertake industry related projects, ranging from collaborations with small community and charity organisations, to working with major corporate brands such as Telstra and Westpac.

These projects offer students the opportunity to understand the scope and needs of industry in promoting their products, and provide businesses and organisations with invaluable new perspectives from students on ways of using technology and visual culture to communicate.

The experience of working with these projects prepares students for professional life, and it is not uncommon for students to subsequently be offered employment with industry partners as a direct result of success with student industry projects.
