Here's what University of Bedfordshire says about its Interior Architecture and Design course.
Interior architecture designers are experts in creating experimental, imaginative and stimulating spatial environments. On this course, you learn how to design spaces that are individual and experiential while offering ergonomic and environmentally sound functionality. You discover the latest innovations used to solve contemporary design problems, and broaden your understanding of building, structure and fabric construction, enabling you to take a design from initial research through to detail design and specification.
