Course summary

The course offers a broad range of opportunities to develop your skills and knowledge within the progressive discipline of interior design. Alongside gaining a comprehensive understanding of design principles and concepts within the context of interior spaces, you will also develop your expertise and proficiency in discipline-specific skills, including digital drawing techniques using industry-standard software. You will be taught by experienced academics, industry professionals and technical support staff. This ensures that the course actively reflects the demands of contemporary interior design practice. Whilst the course is delivered over three years as a full-time student, you can elect to undertake a year in industry between the second and third year of your studies, further embedding relevant employability skills into your degree. All students are allocated a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT), who will provide academic and pastoral support throughout your time at University. The Kingsway Creative Campus has well-resourced spaces, including a dedicated interior design studio, specialist workshops, learning resource centre and café, fostering a creative and collaborative environment in which to study.
