The Master of Interior Design will provide you with an opportunity to position yourself in relation to current interior design practice through collaboration with clients, industry and a network of peers.

With an emphasis on ideas and a design-led approach to research and experimentation, the knowledge and skills you develop in this course will enable you to work in a range of practices, and to engage interior design as an agent of social and cultural change.

Graduates of this course will be highly effective team contributors with strong communication and technical skills. You will learn how to be a valuable contributor through the process of developing a collective response to real industry briefs. You will engage with clients (encompassing commercial, institutional, civic and social organisations) and industry practice partners (interior design and associated design practices) together with the student cohort on live projects and challenges.

With a strong focus on design challenges affecting the broader Australasian region, you will also have opportunities to undertake global intensives to locations within Asia.

Studying business in today's ever-changing, globally-connected and technologically-charged world is an exciting prospect.

Are you a disruptor, a potential entrepreneur who sees opportunity at every turn? Perhaps you are a global citizen, connecting with like minds across the world. Or an innovator; ready to transform business with the latest approaches in cyber, blockchain or digital technologies. Then again, maybe you are more focused on creating social impact, or ensuring sustainability goals are set and met in industry. With so many outcomes from your business studies, the only thing you need to find is your path.

Business Information System
Major studies in information systems include business IT development, information systems strategy and governance, business databases, e-business systems, and business analysis and design.

A degree in international studies will guide you toward a multitude of careers across the globe. If you’re passionate about international affairs and cultural diversity, this course will help prepare you for a versatile and imaginative future.

During your studies, you will build a strong understanding of intercultural, social and political issues and how to address them. You have the opportunity to select a specialisation stream, with three to choose from:

Specialisations

1. Development - Explore international systems and global processes, learn how to negotiate cross-culturally, and delve into strategic and ethical leadership.
2. Global Security - What are the international security challenges that leaders face, and how can communication, strategy and policy help manage this?
3. Languages - Develop communication skills that go beyond multilingualism, explore the nature and politics of language, and grow a stronger appreciation for cultures and communities.
