Why Interior Architecture and Design?

Our Interior Architecture and Design degree encourages you to experiment and develop new ways of thinking, as you build an understanding of the moral, environmental and ethical principles of commercial practice. You’ll undertake a mix of shared collaborative and discipline specific modules, designed with input from professional practitioners to ensure they meet the needs of contemporary industry, whilst also exploring the great sustainable challenges of the future. Uniquely, our course will give you the chance to work on construction and design projects with students from architecture, quantity surveying and urban planning disciplines so that you can collaborate, innovate and learn from each other.

You’ll hone your skills in our super studio, which offers industry standard IT packages such as AutoCAD, Adobe Creative suite, Google Sketch-up Pro and Revit for Building Information Modelling (BIM), along with access to the latest research expertise from our staff. Site surveys, practical and digital workshops, as well as field trips in the UK and overseas will further help you develop your knowledge and professional abilities in interesting and innovative ways.
