    About

    In the 21st century, the definition of ‘interior’ can no longer be simply equated to the inside of a building.

    Conditions of interior and interiority are increasingly affected and transformed by contemporary technologies as well as social and cultural forces and relationships.

    Focused on the dynamic relations between people and the surrounding environment, this ideas-led design degree explores the potential and future of interior design as a practice. This degree will challenge your assumptions about interior design. You will learn to think and operate like a designer you will learn from distinguished design practitioners.

    Why study interior design at RMIT?

    Internship opportunities

    Gain valuable industry experience in a range of leading design practices here and overseas.

    Expert educators

    Learn from and work with distinguished practitioners with years of experience in the field.

    Professional affiliation

    On completion, you will be eligible to join the Design Institute of Australia (DIA).

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    You must have successfully completed a qualification recognised by RMIT as equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) with a minimum average of 70% (see calculator below).

    Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.

    Career

    Many graduates work in interior design and architectural practices where commissions may range from residential, retail and entertainment, to hospitality, corporate office and public building design.

    These practices vary in scale, from large corporate offices to teams of two or three.

    As an interior designer, you may also work in film and television design, set design for theatre, furniture design, exhibition design and curating, event planning and design journalism.

    Design practices are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary, with interior designers, landscape architects, architects, industrial designers and graphic designers collaborating on large-scale projects. Graduates have gone on to work at Woods Bagot, the National Gallery of Victoria, and in their own design practices.
