The Bachelor of Interior Design (Residential) is for those who want to rip up the rulebook and redefine the way we live. This course arms you with the creative skills and rebellious thinking to tackle the big challenges of contemporary living, sending you into the design world with the edge to shake things up.
As well as exploring fittings, fabrics, and colours, we’ll be tackling the bigger issues – think sustainability, homelessness, the ageing population, changing families and evolving gender roles. You’ll learn how the right materials, lighting, and furniture can turn a space into a statement and experiment with cutting-edge tech like AI and interactive audio-visual systems to bring homes into the future. Turn your vision into reality with hands-on design practice, where you’ll work across disciplines, master technical documentation and handle contracts. This is your launchpad to break free from design conventions and start shaping homes that challenge the status quo.
