Domestic Course structureCustomise your degreeYour Architectural studies design courseconsists of 18 units in your primary majorand four units that are common to all sixdesign majors (architectural studies,fashion, industrial design, interactive andvisual design, interior design or landscapearchitecture).
An additional eight units are taken outsideyour primary major. After studying for ayear you can:
choose a second major (eightunits from any approved QUTdegree), or
●
choose two minors (a minor isa specific set of four units drawnfrom courses throughout QUT), or
●
choose one minor and fourelectives.

Here are some examples thatmight inspire ideas:
an architecture student could takea minor in interior design and awork integrated learning minor togain professional industryexperience
●
a landscape architecture studentcould take a language minor suchas Italian to help them workoverseas
●
an interior design student could takea second major in industrial designto aid their ambition to design andmanufacture their own range ofoffice furniture
●
an industrial design studentcould take a second major inmechanical or electrical engineeringto give them a deeperunderstanding of manufacturing andproduction
●
a fashion student could take a minorin business and another in interiordesign to help meet their dream oflaunching their own concept fashionstore

Professional RecognitionThis course has accreditation from theAustralian Institute of LandscapeArchitects (AILA). Graduates can applyfor membership of this professionalorganisation.
Domestic Course structureCustomise your degreeYour landscape architecture designcourse consists of 17 units in your primarymajor and four units that are common toall six design majors (architecturalstudies, fashion, industrial design,interactive and visual design, interiordesign or landscape architecture).
An additional eight units are taken outsideyour primary major. After studying for ayear you can:
choose a second major (eight●
units from any approved QUTdegree), orchoose two minors (a minor isa specific set of four units drawnfrom
●
courses throughout QUT), or●
choose one minor and fourelectives.
●
Minors and majors allow you to tailoryour studies to suit your interests andcareeraspirations. Minors give you breadthof knowledge from two other areas and asecond major provides depth in one area.
This means eight units of your course(one quarter of your degree) are takenfromoutside your primary major. You’llwork alongside students from otherdisciplinesbecause that is how it will be whenyou graduate and work in the real world ofdesign. The possibilities are almostendless. Here are some examples thatmight inspire ideas:
an architecture student could takea minor in interior design and awork integrated learning minor togain professional industryexperience
●
a landscape architecture studentcould take a language minor suchas Italian to help them workoverseas
●
an interior design student could takea second major in industrial designto aid their ambition to design andmanufacture their own range ofoffice furniture
●
an industrial design studentcould take a second major inmechanical or electrical engineeringto give them a deeperunderstanding of manufacturing andproduction
●
a fashion student could take a minorin business and another in interiordesign to help meet their dream oflaunching their own concept fashionstore
●
an interactive and visualdesign student could take a secondmajor in advertising or marketingand work as a designer for a leadingdigital agency.
