Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: K1W2
Here's what Nottingham Trent University says about its Interior Architecture and Design course.
Dynamic, creative and hands-on, the BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design course will equip you with all the skills needed to create spaces that are beautiful, functional and sustainable.
You'll explore the design and development of internal environments in relation to their architectural composition, considering key factors such as structure and light. You'll develop your identity as a designer through hands-on module content that will teach you key transferable skills and prepare you for a successful graduate career in architectural design, interior decoration or interior design.
