Masters of Arts- Interior Design (January intake)

Interior design is a rapidly growing creative industry, designing stimulating environments for living, working, shopping, commerce and almost every possible human activity.

Normally based around the conversion of existing buildings, the interior designer considers the needs of the client and building’s end use, the creation of interior spatial layouts, and improving circulation and function. Working as an interior designer, students will specify materials, design fittings and furniture, and select colour palettes and lighting schemes.

Students will focus on existing and emerging design trends including health, wellbeing and sustainability, and engage with socially and ethically-focused agendas essential in current practice. They will learn how to contextualise interiors in relation to people and society, and participate in live projects and national competitions that replicate professional practice, preparing them to become a creative design professional who can work with a range of clients.
