Associate Degree in Interior Decoration and Design

This program is designed to develop creative design skills and knowledge of workplace practices to industry standards for effective para-professional practice in the design and decoration industry. Students will apply the principles of aesthetics, materials, function, environment and sustainability from concept to final design realisation and presentation of proposed solutions to specific client briefs. Students will investigate and experiment with three dimensional space, structural fit out, design history and contemporary style for domestic and commercial interiors, with an emphasis on the environmental aspects of design. Students will work to provide solutions for client briefs and will select an area of specialisation in the second year, when industry placement will occur.
