Real-world learning

Expanding your design studies internationally can provide you with an advantage in your career.

Design skills are highly transferable and gaining experience in countries known for their expertise in design will enhance your employability and open unique career opportunities at home and around the world.

What to expect:

Great design is happening all around the world. If you want to travel overseas, immerse yourself in a different culture and be on pace with the design trends emerging in another country, this degree is for you.

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.

In your third year of study you will spend two semesters (96 credit points) studying abroad before returning to transfer skills and knowledge to a workplace or professional context and gain practical work experience with work integrated learning.

Careers and outcomes

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.

An additional year of International studies will enhance your global employability and open unique career opportunities.

Professional recognition

Graduates qualify for membership of the 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.
