Careers and outcomes

As an interior designer, you may choose to work independently, in a small or large practice or in a multidisciplinary firm specialising in large-scale architectural and property development projects, either locally or overseas. Alternative career options include retail, theatre and event design, and exhibition design, such as in a gallery or museum. To become a registered architect, you’ll need to undertake two more years of training in our Master of Architecture program, and then pass the Architectural Practice Exam once you’ve completed two years of practical experience.

With many major projects planned for Queensland over the next 10 years, including the Star Brisbane casino, Waterfront Brisbane and Brisbane 2032 Olympics, there’s never been a more exciting time to combine a degree in Architecture Design with a Bachelor of Built Environment (Honours) (Interior Design).
