A Bachelor of Building Design at CQUniversity will enable you to plan and document for buildings of any height or floor area including restorations, renovations, unit development and extension work. You will develop advanced knowledge and skills in design and documentation, understanding of construction, structures, building materials and services, professional practice and communication and the key principles of sustainability. You are able to gain your qualification while working or seeking employment through part-time distance education studies. A Bachelor of Building Design allows you to upskill from TAFE qualifications in the areas of building and related trades to enhance your career prospects. As a TAFE student, in some cases you can obtain credit transfers for courses you have already completed to reduce the time it takes to complete your degree. As a qualified tradesperson, you could undertake this program as a first step towards starting your own company or a managerial role in the building and construction industry. You may be eligible to exit this program early with the completion of an Associate Degree of Building Design.

Building designers with Bachelor qualifications provide design solutions for residential and commercial buildings of all sizes and work at design, architectural, planning, building or engineering firms, government departments, and corporations with a large building portfolio.
