Interior Design (with Integrated Foundation & Professional Practice Years)

UCAS code: W25G

Here's what University for the Creative Arts says about its Interior Design (with Integrated Foundation & Professional Practice Years) course.

On our BA (Hons) Interior Design degree course at UCA Canterbury, we’ll expect you to ask questions and think about how we use spaces, and how we can better understand people’s needs in the spaces they use.

Fundamentally, you’ll be concerned with investigating how we feel about the spaces we inhabit, and prioritising human comfort. You’ll also develop your contextual awareness and your ability to create socially and culturally sensitive design responses.

Your work will also be client-driven - so you'll learn how to meet the needs and desires of any given client, preparing you for your career ahead. You’ll be taught by an academic and technical team with a range of industry experience, spanning everything from high-end retail to commercial space.

UCA’s Integrated Foundation Year is designed to give you the skills you’ll need to start your degree in the best possible way – with confidence, solid knowledge of creative practice, study skills and more. You’ll explore a range of creative techniques and develop your portfolio, with your chosen subject in mind. We’ll work with you throughout the year to ensure you’re on the right track and give you the tools to achieve your highest potential on your degree. If you opt to complete a professional practice year, this will take place in year three. You will undertake a placement within the creative industries to further develop your skills and CV. While on your Professional Practice Year, you will be required to pay a reduced tuition fee for that year. This fee will be determined using government funding regulations. Based on current regulations, we expect this to be a maximum of 20% of the tuition fee rate that you are charged for your second year of study. You will also incur additional travel and accommodation costs during this year. The University will provide you with further advice and guidance about this as you approach your Professional Practice Year. Please note: If you are an international applicant, you will need to enrol onto the course ‘with Professional Practice Year’. It will not be possible to transfer onto the Professional Practice Year after enrolment.
