Overview
The combined degree program in Interior Design and International Studies provides students with additional practical skills, in particular those that make them aware of the international contexts of interior design, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of a language and culture other than English.
Course aims
The aim of the combined degree in Interior Design and International Studies is to produce graduates who have developed perspectives and skills that enable them to meet the professional demands of an internationalised marketplace.
Career options
Career options include interior designer (self-employed or within an interior design or architectural practice) or positions in exhibition design, film and television set design, furniture design or marketing. Career options are enhanced by international experience, making students more marketable to prospective employers.
Additional admission requirements
International students (excluding those studying in an Australian high school) must submit an application to UTS: International (in person, by mail or online) or through an accredited UTS representative. The application must include a portfolio of the student's work (preferably provided on CD or DVD).
There is a range of entry levels to the various Language and Culture programs. Students are admitted to the International Studies program with no guarantee of entry to a specific major, although every effort is made to meet students' preferences.
In addition to the standard application requirements, all non-current school leaver applicants to this course are required to submit online a compulsory Personal Statement directly to UTS by the end of September. For further information, see UTS Personal Statements.
