Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: W251

Here's what University of Hertfordshire says about its Interior Architecture and Design course.

Interior Architecture and Design students have participated in live projects with a number of commercial partners including Letchworth Garden City urban regeneration, Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen, Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange, The Forum Hertfordshire, Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council and St Albans Museums. The degree focuses on working with existing buildings and spaces and exploring different possibilities for habitation. The Interior Architecture and Design degree pursues a progressive and holistic teaching approach as we consider the design process as something non-linear or sequential (i.e. research first, design later). Graduates from the course are eligible for associate membership to professional institutions such as: The British Interior Design Association, The Society of British Interior Design and The Chartered Society of Designer.

I would commute to university, so I had a balance of university life experience and home experience. I would recommend fully committing to a full time university experience, living locally and engaging with other students and events.
