Dynamic, creative and hands-on, this accredited course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to create spaces that are beautiful, functional and sustainable.

Explore the design and development of internal environments in relation to their overall architectural composition, considering form, structure and light. On this course you’ll develop your identity as a designer and gain key transferable skills that will prepare you for a graduate career in architectural design, interior decoration and interior design.

Based in our Grade II* listed Gothic Revival style Arkwright building, you’ll study in a studio culture that reflects modern practice, and an environment that challenges you to work collaboratively, share experiences and experiment with ideas. You’ll get the opportunity to work on live design projects, with creative briefs from real clients, and engage with guest lectures from industry experts.
