    Advanced Design and Building - Commercial Sustainability Program

    Malaysia and Singapore  2012 Study Tour 

    Malaysia and Singapore’s dynamic growth provides a wide choice of innovative and sustainable commercial buildings to visit and study. Their expert industry contacts are highly experienced in sustainable design and building practices and are eager to share their expertise.

    Our Design study tour is about enlightening students in the area of sustainable design and building practices, an area that continues to be poorly implemented within Australia.

    The overseas experience includes:

    • An opportunity for students to study additional units of competency in sustainable design and building practices, in a highly cost effective manner.
    • Cultural and academic experiences that increase both local and international employability and training opportunities for students.
