About this program

The Bachelor of Built Environment (Honours) (Interior Design) and Bachelor of Property Economics at Queensland University of Technology brings together creative design and property knowledge over four years of full-time study in Brisbane. Interior Design students work on live projects, learning to create functional and inspiring spaces for commercial, residential, and public settings. Property Economics studies cover the principles of property development, valuation, finance, and management, giving graduates a clear view of how buildings and spaces operate in the market.

This double degree is delivered as a series of units of study, each worth a set number of credit points that build toward your honours bachelor qualification. Students complete practical studio and project work in Interior Design, with opportunities for collaborative projects and portfolio development. In Property Economics, coursework targets understanding market forces, investment strategies, and real-life case studies. In the final year, students participate in a capstone experience or research thesis, pulling together the design and property skills they’ve developed. Some units may involve work-integrated learning, giving insight into real professional settings in Australia.

You’ll develop both creative and business-focused skills, such as conceptual thinking, technical drawing, real estate analysis, site appraisal, design communication, property law, and stakeholder negotiation. This course suits those interested in both designing interior environments and understanding the economics underpinning property industries, and who are keen to apply their skills in both private firms and government projects in Australia.

As with most Australian institutions, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters, and international graduates may be eligible for post-study work rights through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). QUT maintains strong links to local industry partners, giving students a realistic entrance to the field. Always confirm course details and eligibility directly on the official QUT or CRICOS pages.
