This course takes a holistic approach to interior design. You will expand your digital skills and professional knowledge in key areas, such as styling, construction and lighting design. Rather than simply designing a room, you will develop the knowledge and skills to create immersive, interactive experiences that appeal to the senses. 

As well as preparing you for the demands of the contemporary client, your interior design course will develop your ability to manage yourself and others. We encourage you to assemble design teams, handle group dynamics and develop your skills in project management – all essential for a career in the interior design business.   We also encourage you to develop independent problem solving and leadership skills, which are widely transferable in the jobs market.

Your tutors have practical experience as interior designers. They will support your creative ambitions and help you to reflect on practical issues like methodology, prototyping, and pitching solutions to real interior design challenges. 

You will learn how to:

• understand contemporary and historical approaches to interior and spatial design
• develop organised critical research skills using relevant resources and appropriate methods of analysis
• make your ideas reality using material and technological solutions
• respond to a variety of authentic client briefs
• establish a network of linked business and creative professionals
• work collaboratively towards shared goals
• engage both specialist and non-specialist audiences

Through talks and workshops with guest speakers, you will also have opportunities to gain professional insight and build confidence in your abilities.

Once you graduate, you could go on to work in: 

• interior design
• architectural design
• the creative design industry.
