'The highlight of my study experience has been the opportunity to freely explore and push the boundaries of design with the use of QUT's state-of-the-art design and fabrication workshop. I had the opportunity to use a laser-cutting machine to create a full 3D model of an iconic Brisbane building with only the floor plans as a guide. The diversity of projects that I have completed at QUT has left me with a portfolio of interesting work that has greatly strengthened my interviews with industry professionals.'
Bachelor of Built Environment (Honours) (Interior Design)
Diverse degree, diverse careers
As an investment analyst at QIC’s Global Real Estate team, I am jointly responsible for one of the fund’s largest retail centres valued at around $1 billion. My role is extremely fast paced and requires frequent travel due to our assets situated around the globe. The diversity of the degree and curriculum was a huge highlight for me, and led to an extensive range of career outcomes. Given that property is the largest commodity in the world, there is so much more you can do outside of being a real estate agent.
