Course Overview

Programme content is concerned with the study of interiors through analysis, research, and intervention. Through understanding the needs of the client, respecting the existing situation, and researching the specialized area, allows the student to respond with relevant, innovative, and creative solutions.

The programme uses the design project as the central vehicle for learning and aims to stimulate and provoke imaginative responses to the reuse of interior spaces. Projects address domestic, commercial, hospitality, community, social, and user-specific interior briefs.

The first year starts with core foundation skills facilitating exploration and allowing students to develop a body of knowledge on approaches to interior spaces. As the programme progresses, students engage in live projects with community and charity organisations where they work with real-life clients and situations. Collaborative and
group work is used extensively alongside individual studio practice. Field trips, locally, nationally, and internationally run in conjunction with visiting lectures from designers in practice and industry, ensuring engagement and understanding of the best practice and current trends in interior design
