The Diploma of Interior Design and Decoration focuses on the design processes that shape the commercial and residential environments we live, work, shop and eat in across our daily lives.

The course is one of Australia's most sought-after and comprehensive programs. It will teach you the technical and theoretical skills needed to launch your own business or walk straight into an architectural practice job-ready like many of our graduates.

You will explore the commercial aspects of interior design, with subjects in sustainable design, decoration principles, construction management, CAD, and joinery and finishes.

In doing so, you will gain hands-on industry experience and gain expertise in the software being used in professional practice.

Plus, you will get to apply your learnings from the classroom to real-world projects through internships or industry live briefs, ensuring you graduate prepared to enter the industry in a variety of roles such as an interior designer or interior stylist.

As a course recognised by the Design Institute of Australia, you will graduate with an industry-recognised qualification taught by experts who have worked in the field and share the same passion for interiors as you.
