About the course

Our BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design course provides you with the skills to transform or give new life to spaces, as well as teaching you how to plan and design creative interiors.

　　You will look at hierarchies and relationships between different spaces, describing these relationships in new ways. This industry-aligned degree course offers you the opportunity to study and practise the adaption and re-use of space within new and existing building stock, while also addressing aesthetics, human needs, materiality and more, as well as the ephemeral qualities of atmosphere, character, colour, light and shade.

　　Alongside the regeneration of existing space, you will discover new interior environments, in a broad range of industry sectors, such as hospitality, retail, leisure and residential, using an experimental approach to design to develop the refined techniques required for effective space planning, conceptual design, development, visualisation and the refurbishment of space.

　　Enhancing employability skills

　　Our expert staff will help you stand out from the crowd by developing your competitive and transferable interior design skills through live project collaborations as well as international exchange opportunities.

　　You will learn how to confidently present your skills to employers as a designer in interior or architectural practices, and illustrate your strengths working in varied design environments, including retail, workplace, exhibitions, events design, or as a set designer for theatre or film Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
