About this course

Create inspirational spaces and interiors

The Bachelor of the Built Environment (Interior Architecture) provides an essential introduction to the field of interior spatial design. In line with the opportunities and constraints generated by a globalised and rapidly changing world, you'll explore a mixture of urban environments and public spaces, and will analyse their context in modern society.

You'll develop a robust series of creative and critical-thinking skills which will allow you to visualise the potential of interior environments, communicate your ideas using digital design software and, ultimately, shape the way humans experience and interact with interior spaces. Successful completion of the course will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to practice as a dynamic, agile and creative interior design professional.

Study a Bachelor of the Built Environment (Interior Architecture) at UC and you will:
  • evaluate the role of interior architecture from a range of different environmental, cultural, historical and interdisciplinary contexts
  • interrogate the traditional boundaries of interior architecture
  • collaborate, develop, discuss and debate ideas in a professional industry framework
