We spend most of our life inside. This increased in 2020 for many and showed the influence our interior environments have on our lives. At UNSW, you’ll look beyond the aesthetics of interiors to discover how public and private spaces impact our identity, how we socialise, our health and wellbeing, and more.
Discover how you’ll transform spaces to tackle today’s challenges in the UNSW Bachelor of Interior Architecture and the career opportunities where you can put your purpose into practice.
