Our industry partnerships, include numerous interior design offices and architectural firms, offering design support throughout the academic year and employment opportunities for our students. Our valued allies, such as KBDi, Esckerleys and other industry people such as E&S Trading openly support our student's industrial education by their design awards, their open visitation days and are also employment pathways for recent graduates.

This project brings together two disparate teaching units, Interior Design and Business. It enables students from these diverse departments to find common ground in creating a design exhibition and understanding each other's academic journey, the complexities and the similarities of these different academic units, their requirements and their outcomes. In the non-academic world these different disciplines are aligned, business needs interior design, interior design needs business. The co-dependence of these seemingly unaligned disciplines reinforces the complexities of the non-academic.

Advanced Diploma of Interior Design Graduate Exhibition 2022 - A Second Chance Project - Social Cohesion
A number of dilapidated, disused buildings sit within the CBD, a second chance explores the notion of giving these buildings a new life by repurposing them into homeless accommodation. For the past 3 years, the Advanced Diploma of Interior Design students have had the opportunity to develop their ideas through a series of investigation, research and design from repurposing disused buildings, to de-insitutionalisation of institutions and the alterations and additions to an existing folly. In this year’s research study, the focus is on social cohesion and its implication to our society.
