Foundation Studies - Art, Design and Architecture (FS022ADA) (108492M) + Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours) (BH115) (083945G)

In the 21st century, the definition of ‘interior’ can no longer be simply equated to the inside of a building. Conditions of interior and interiority are increasingly affected and transformed by contemporary technologies as well as social and cultural forces and relationships.

Focused on the dynamic relations between people and the surrounding environment, this ideas-led design degree explores the potential and future of interior design as a practice. This degree will challenge students' assumptions about interior design. Students will learn to think and operate like a designer. They will learn from distinguished design practitioners.

Students will build design skills through responding to a range of design briefs, from the conceptual to real-life situations. They will be provided with technical and communication tools such as Rhino, Revit, 3D imaging, hand-drawing, film production and model making, as well as verbal presentation skills. Students will also have the opportunity to travel and engage with industry through workshops and projects that allow them to respond to complex design challenges.

Students in third and fourth year have the opportunity to undertake internships and gain valuable experience with leading design practices in Melbourne and internationally.
