Pathways to Further StudyOn successful completion of this course,you will be eligible to apply for entry intothe Master of Design (Urban Design) orthe Master of Design (Research),provided you have met entryrequirements.
Professional RecognitionThis course, along with the followingMaster of Architecture course, hasreceived full accreditation from theArchitects Accreditation Council ofAustralia, and full recognition from theAustralian Institute of Architects.
Domestic Course structureCustomise your degreeYour architectural studies design courseconsists of 18 units in your primary majorand four units that are common to all sixdesign majors (architectural studies,fashion, industrial design, interactive andvisual design, interior design or landscapearchitecture).
An additional eight units are taken outsideyour primary major. After studying for ayear you can:
choose a second major (eight unitsfrom any approved QUT degree), or
●
choose two minors (a minor is aspecific set of four units drawn fromcourses throughout QUT), or
●
choose one minor and fourelectives.
●
Minors and majors allow you to tailor yourstudies to suit your interests and careeraspirations. Minors give you breadth ofknowledge from two other areas and asecond major provides depth in one area.This means eight units of your course(one quarter of your degree) are takenfrom outside your primary major. You’llwork alongside students from otherdisciplines because that is how it will bewhen you graduate and work in the realworld of design. The possibilities arealmost endless.
Here are some examples that mightinspire ideas:
an architecture student could take aminor in interior design and a workintegrated learning minor to gainprofessional industry experience
●
a landscape architecture studentcould take a language minor suchas Italian to help them workoverseas
●
an interior design student could takea second major in industrial designto aid their ambition to design andmanufacture their own range ofoffice furniture
●
an industrial design student couldtake a second major in mechanicalor electrical engineering to givethem a deeper understanding ofmanufacturing and production
●
a fashion student could take a minorin business and another in interiordesign to help meet their dream oflaunching their own concept fashionstore
●
an interactive and visual designstudent could take a second majorin advertising or marketing and workas a designer for a leading digitalagency.
●
And remember - your second major orminors could be in film, creativewriting,music, visual arts, drama or otherdisciplines across QUT. #

Domestic Course structureCustomise your degreeYour industrial design course consists of17 units in your primary major and fourunits that are common to all six designmajors (architectural studies, fashion,industrial design, interactive and visualdesign, interior design or landscapearchitecture).
An additional eight units are taken outsideyour primary major. After studying for ayear you can:
choose a second major (eight●
units from any approved QUTdegree), orchoose two minors (a minor isa specific set of four units drawnfrom courses throughout QUT), or

●
Minors and majors allow you to tailor yourstudies to suit your interests and careeraspirations. Minors give you breadth ofknowledge from two other areas and asecond major provides depth in one area.
This means eight units of your course(one quarter of your degree) are takenfrom outside your primary major. You’llwork alongside students from otherdisciplines because that is how it will bewhen you graduate and work in the realworld of design. The possibilities arealmost endless. Here are some examplesthat might inspire ideas:
an architecture student could takea minor in interior design and awork integrated learning minor togain professional industryexperience

a landscape architecture studentcould take a language minor suchas Italian to help them workoverseas

an interior design student could takea second major in industrial designto aid their ambition to design andmanufacture their own range ofoffice furniture

Domestic Course structureCustomise your degreeYour interior design course consists of 18units in your primary major and four unitsthat are common to all six designmajors (architectural studies, fashion,industrial design, interactive and visualdesign, interior design or landscapearchitecture).
An additional eight units are taken outsideyour primary major. After studying for ayear you can:
choose a second major (eight●
units from any approved QUTdegree), orchoose two minors (a minor isa specific set of four units drawnfrom courses throughout QUT), or
●
choose one minor and fourelectives.
●
Minors and majors allow you to tailor yourstudies to suit your interests and careeraspirations. Minors give you breadth ofknowledge from two other areas and asecond major provides depth in one area.
This means eight units of your course(one quarter of your degree) are takenfrom outside your primary major. You’llwork alongside students from otherdisciplines because that is how it will bewhen you graduate and work in the realworld of design. The possibilities arealmost endless. Here are some examplesthat might inspire ideas:
an architecture student could takea minor in interior design and awork integrated learning minor togain professional industryexperience
●
a landscape architecture studentcould take a language minor suchas Italian to help them workoverseas
●
an interior design student could takea second major in industrial designto aid their ambition to design andmanufacture their own range ofoffice furniture
●
an industrial design studentcould take a second major inmechanical or electrical engineeringto give them a deeperunderstanding of manufacturing andproduction
●
a fashion student could take a minorin business and another in interiordesign to help meet their dream oflaunching their own conceptfashion store
●
an interactive and visualdesign student could take a secondmajor in advertising or marketingand work as a designer for a leadingdigital agency.
●
And remember—your second major orminors could be in film, creative writing,music, visual arts, drama or otherdisciplines across QUT. #
