Billy Blue

In 1987, Billy Blue Creative (which blossomed from the infamous Billy Blue Magazine) decided to open a tiny design school to train creative folk who would eventually contribute to projects in the design studio. A crowd of about four was expected. Sixty-six people enrolled and there was a long waiting list. Nearly 30 years later, Billy Blue College of Design has stayed true to the ethos of delivering innovative design education - relevant design learning for designers, by designers. With a multidisciplinary mix of industry-recognised degrees and postgraduate qualifications, Billy Blue encourages entrepreneurial outcomes and seeks to provide the next leaders across four campuses in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Our students relish in a creative, thriving culture and community, and are mentored by experienced industry practitioners toward forging their exciting career in the creative industries. In 2016, Billy Blue has become a part of Torrens University Australia, a member of the Laureate International Universities network of 1 million students and over 80 quality education providers in 29 countries.
