Bachelor of Design (Interior Architecture)

Your degree will begin with introductory and shared impact lab units where, working with students from other disciplines, you’ll focus on problems and social issues and identify potential solutions connected to industry and community.

Your studies will focus on design process, theory and technology including 2D and 3D digital drafting and then you’ll build on these foundations and explore areas including design psychology and the sociocultural aspects of design, and well as your choice of units from other areas of study.

Later in your degree you will be able to transfer skills and knowledge to a workplace or professional context and gain practical work experience with work integrated learning.

Careers and outcomes(DOM,INT)

Many interior designers work independently or in both small and large practices. Others elect to work in multidisciplinary firms specialising in large-scale complex architectural and property development projects, both locally and internationally. Alternative career areas include retail, and theatre and event design, and exhibition design, such as in gallery or museum settings.

Professional recognition(DOM,INT)

Graduates qualify for Graduate Membership of Design Institute of Australia (DIA). The Bachelor of Design (Interior Architecture) does not confer qualifications in Architecture and the Queensland Architects Act (2002) restricts the use of the title “Architect” to professionals registered by the Board of Architects of Queensland.
