Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Interior Design (Commercial)

As one of Australia’s fastest growing universities, we take a progressive approach to learning. Our courses are co-designed, developed and delivered with industry, giving you confidence that you’ll graduate job-ready. During this course you will:

• Create innovative commercial interiors to engage users.
• Work with 3D-modelling software to design spatial projects.
• Apply environmentally sustainable design strategies.
• Develop construction documentation to industry standards of professional practice.
• Learn how to identify opportunities for growth and expansion.
• Harness entrepreneurial theory to successfully run your own business.

Throughout this double degree, you will explore the theoretical and practical elements of designing and making commercial interiors – branding, lighting, sustainability and materiality – to create environments that meet your client’s needs. You will discover how commercial interior-design strategies are developed and assessed, as well as practical industry-based management skills, such as documentation, contract management, professional design practice and cross-disciplinary interaction. Using industry standard software, you’ll develop the skills to communicate information that’s relevant to designing, costing and constructing interiors, and find out how to represent spatial environments. The course engages you in contemporary theory and provides an overview of the leading interior-design trends and a look towards the future.
