Course summary

OVERVIEW The BA (Hons) Interior Design course at Norwich University of the Arts (Norwich) aims to foster creative expression and critical thinking as a way of addressing social challenges and human needs. The manipulation and crafting of our environment are fundamental and defining human characteristics; an expression of our individual and shared identity, directly connected to our mental and physical wellbeing. Our course focuses on contemporary global issues of sustainability and inclusion throughout as core attributes of becoming a responsible and conscientious practitioner. Addressing needs and designing responsibly is an essential aspect of the course philosophy. We aim to empower graduates to create memorable spaces that have a long-lasting and positive impact on the people that use them. Interior design spans many three-dimensional design industries, requiring a broad awareness of disciplines ranging from architecture, fashion, product and furniture design. The course embraces this understanding as the foundation for the aesthetic, cultural, economic, and social influences within which the interior design profession operates. Interior design is about creating a sense of place, not just working within a space. We provide students with an opportunity to explore how we relate to, influence, and define the spaces around us.
