About this course
Interior Design is about transforming spaces, using artistic flair and logic. These spaces can vary in type and scale from vibrant city centre restaurants and elegant high street shops, through to high end art galleries and domestic environments. In this course, you will develop skills in creativity and technology to help you transform your ideas into spaces and experiences that are inspirational and captivating to those who use, encounter and live within them.
This BA Interior Design degree will give you the opportunity to explore all aspects of the design process, from design through to construction. You’ll be taught by experienced specialist tutors, as well as benefit from the input of expert design professionals through guest lectures with Industry partners who have included Koncept Interior Design, The Penketh Group, and Egger Laminates alongside study trips such as visits to Ardmac Construction sites, the Milliken carpet factory and showroom, and Carlick furniture manufacturers.
The Interior Design course is project-focused within purpose-built studios and workshops where you’ll be surrounded by like-minded creatives and professionals. We teach you how to focus upon contemporary design issues, culture and professional design practice. You will also undertake lectures and seminars where you’ll explore and discuss design ideas, throughout the course you’ll develop digital skills using Industry-standard 2D, 3D and multimedia computer applications.
