Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: W251

Here's what Northumbria University, Newcastle says about its Interior Architecture course.

Investigate. Adapt. Improve.

Our design-led, studio based Interior Architecture course, is a member of Interior Educators, the National Learned Society for the subject, and provides you with the practical skills and specialist knowledge to work as an interior architectural specialist.

Through live and directed design projects, you will develop creative, intelligent and meaningful design proposals for existing buildings through investigation of the site. You will learn to control the relationship between the existing context and your proposed interior adaptation, supported by studies in design, communication, history and theory, construction technology, environment and management. You will take part in site visits within live projects and a European study trip to help contextualise and expand your learning.

How will I gain skills during my degree? Before your final year, you can choose the option of an additional study abroad year, or complete the course as originally intended; all of which are designed to enrich your experience as a subject specialist and as a global citizen. You will develop a creative portfolio of directed and self-directed design project work which will allow you to fully explore your interests within interior architecture and building adaptation, while fully expressing your ability as a designer and a future professional.

You will showcase your final project work at an exhibition here in Newcastle and as part of Interior Educators in London, to maximize your reach to industry.

Successful graduates can progress onto our one semester Postgraduate Certificate in Interior Architecture course, which is professionally accredited and allows you to satisfy the ARB Part I criteria, when combined with undergraduate Interior Architecture study and Northumbria. This course allows our graduates to achieve Part I status, as specialists in building adaptation and creative reuse.

Well I like the life I created but I just don’t like how unreliable the transport is from where I live although it’s something that the uni probably can’t help with

I don’t live in university accommodation since it’s expensive but I’ve heard that it’s okay depending on who you’re staying with. The university facility is really nice though so I like it but I hope that they can provide free hot water.

4th year student

Most of my tutors are really nice and they always reply to my emails. There is also a lot of group work that’s hard because I prefer to study on my own to get a better grade.
