Our Interior Design BA(Hons) course aims to get you thinking about the functional and aesthetic potential of interior environments. Through a supportive learning journey you will be encouraged to imagine what is possible and develop your own design practice, you’ll discover how you can transform space, questioning the future of retail, leisure and work spaces and all interior environments beyond the domestic.
Interior Design transforms ideas into experiences. You'll have opportunities to create and innovate entirely new experiences and relationships between people and the places they spend time in. With an emphasis on creativity, you can explore current design thinking using this to push design boundaries and to come up with new ways of looking at interactions, transforming future spatial environments.
Why study Interior Design?
* You can focus on the practical side of things, with the aim of helping you to prepare for a career in interior design. We’ll give you the chance to get involved in a range of projects across several typologies, building your own unique portfolio as you move through the course.
* Use skills and experience gained over your time on the course to give you the best chance to succeed in your future career as a designer. We’ll aim to give you a thorough grounding in all the technical demands of detailing and specification alongside the creative aspects.
* Take opportunities to get out into the ‘real world’ by engaging in our placement year, where you can work in a professional design practice. It will give you the chance to gain hands-on experience, build up your professional portfolio and develop real-world skills.
