Course summary
Our BA (Hons) Interior Decoration and Styling (with Integrated International Foundation Year) is a four year course, specifically designed to provide international students with the English language and creative skills before they embark on year one of a degree. Do you want to become a confident interior decoration and styling professional with specialist knowledge and contemporary design visualisation? Achieve it all on our BA (Hons) Interior Decoration & Styling degree course at UCA Canterbury. You’ll have the freedom to establish your own unique specialisms, such as materials specification and performance, or brand-led style composition and photography. And you will develop your own highly individualised design identity and style, which you’ll be able to showcase as you explore real briefs and contexts. To refine your theoretical knowledge and practical skills, you’ll have access to advanced forms of fabrication and testing, the latest scanning and VR technology, and a suite of traditional craft-based workshops, photography studios, and print facilities, all of which will allow you to bring your design proposals to life. With support from our team of expert academics and industry professionals and through collaborative opportunities with students on our other courses, such as product and furniture design, and interior architecture, you’ll graduate with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed for success.
Assessment method
For our students coming from a non-UK educational background, UCA has launched an Integrated International Foundation Year, based at UCA Farnham to bring students from around the world to one hub of creativity. This year of preparatory study is designed to give you the skills you’ll need to start your degree in the best possible way – with confidence, solid knowledge of creative practice, study skills and the English speaking and writing skills you’ll need to succeed. You’ll explore a range of creative techniques and develop your portfolio, with your chosen subject in mind. We’ll work with you throughout the year to ensure you’re on the right track and give you the tools to achieve your highest potential on your degree.
