Course summary

Our Interior Design course aims to support you to experiment boldly, meaningfully challenge conventions, and consider innovative approaches to the future of interior design. It challenges the integration of spaces, whether that be the old with the new, the digital with the physical, engineered with nature or the integration of communities with their surroundings. You will develop, research and practice design thinking to an advanced level, integrating strong research methods into the creative process. You will be encouraged to think sustainably, as well as develop your understanding of professional and commercial practice by considering the viability of your design proposals. Our stunning and sophisticated facilities offer an inspiring place for you to foster and refine your talents, and where you will collaborate across disciplines within our close-knit design community. The course culminates in the detailed development of a major design brief or work-based project in industry. This will enable you to hone your skills as an independent researcher or gain first-hand experience of professional skills. Your individual interests are at the heart of the course and we will support you to develop your skills and expertise towards your career aspirations. Key features
