About the Course

BA (Hons) Interior Design is offered as a full-time (three year degree) as either onsite or online. The course has been designed to spark imagination, encourage debate and ignite curiosity. Students learn from industry professionals using the latest technology and graduate ready for a career in all sectors of spatial and interior design. This supportive course aims to nurture, develop and equip students with a broad range of interior design skills and professional practice. With many projects being ‘live’ (working for real clients, charities and organisations) students develop their skills in collaboration; alongside design, technical and communication. As the course progresses, they gain self-confidence and a sense of design as a tool for social change and ethical innovation.
