Course summary

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. You will complete a Professional Practice Year as part of this course. This will give you the opportunity to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be confident and engaged in creative workplaces. Employers widely recognise these qualities, and a significant proportion of placement students are offered graduate-level jobs or go onto postgraduate study.
