Modules

Our online BA (Hons) course in Interior Design commences each September. The course comprises of 15 terms of 12 weeks each, with generous breaks in-between each term. Study time/coursework requires a minimum of 20 hours per week. The online modules are exactly the same as onsite, but due to the course being delivered part-time, the timing of the delivery is different to that of the full-time onsite course. Induction courses will be provided for all challenging new systems and interfaces including use of the online/onsite library facilities, the VLE, conferencing systems and all software programmes covered in the level 4 Digital Tools module (IDD 4.6), level 5 Technical Communication module (IDD 5.5), and the level 6 Construction, Technology and the Environment module (IDD 6.2). As part of level 4 studies, you will be required to initiate a Personal Development Plan (PDP) that will be regularly reviewed and updated, and continued through Level 5 and Level 6 studies in order to encourage you to be an independent learner.
