Here's what Newcastle College University Centre says about its Interior and Spatial Design course.
Are you interested in a career in the design industry? Would you like to create your own designs? This Interior and Spatial Design degree will give you industry-aligned design skills and knowledge that responds to the changing shape of design. You will learn the characteristics of materials and will design and scale models for an urban setting. The course is unique in that you will build your workshop skills independently. You will become proficient with equipment such as a CNC router and the Adobe Suite, as well as having the opportunity to develop your own pop-up shop. Throughout this degree you will be closely linked to industry from working on client briefs to work experience opportunities. You will benefit from guest talks from specialists such as Ryder Architecture, Ryskl Design Studio and Dakota House of Design. You will also study a Professional Development module which will enable you to review your employability and transferable skills against industry. Once you have successfully completed this degree, you can progress onto the BA (Hons) Interior and Spatial (Top-Up) or enter the profession in the interior, architectural, multi-disciplined design or product industries.
