Overview
Interior Architecture challenges the existing architectural fabric and context, remodelling space through architectural intervention. It is inclined towards a language that questions the idea of interiority relative to a variety of scales - from room, to building to city.
Why study BA Interior Architecture at Middlesex University?
The practice of interiors is frequently described as 'placemaking', which demands an explicit articulation of the functional, physical and experiential relationships between the existing and original, and the new, imagined and sustainable re-use of the built environment. The Interior Architecture programme is centrally concerned with the adaptation and remodelling of existing buildings. It bridges the practices of interior design and architecture, sometimes dealing with complex structural, environmental and servicing problems. The course encompasses a diverse range of project and building types and engages with both single and multi-functional use within public, private and commercial realms.
The programme can also be taken over four years in a sandwich mode that includes a one-year professional placement within the design industry, taken after your 2nd year of study. This enables you to incorporate a substantial professional practice element in your studies, for which you will receive an Advanced Diploma Professional Practice: Interior Architecture & Design at graduation. The programme is highly regarded within both the academic sector and the design industry and, over more than thirty years, has acquired a considerable reputation for providing high quality graduates to the creative industries and aims to:
Question the meaning and limits of the term 'interior', considering both speculative and real conditions
Develop a dialogue between the old and the new, the real and the imagined, and time and space
Challenge students to experiment and innovate in the processes of creating environments for human occupation
Explore the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of the interior and its cultural and historical context

Promote rigour, professionalism and excellence in the realisation of interior space
Encourage the advancement of our lived-in environments and the way we live and experience them
Further the sustainable/thoughtful use of materials, buildings and cities; promote awareness of ecological issues.
