This course focuses on interior design for a broad spectrum of spaces, including those of commercial, lifestyle, educational, civic and cultural purposes. You will discover the power that interior and spatial design has to influence our daily lives, whilst developing a rich understanding of how to create impactful and effective spaces that are environmentally and socially conscious.
The course emphasises conceptual design and technical ability, providing the perfect environment for you to prepare yourself to enter the interior design industry.
The way your work is assessed is informed directly by industry practices and predominantly focuses on producing design project portfolios, with supporting presentations, collaborative work, and reporting on your design-led inquiry. As a designer preparing for practice, assessments encourage your visual communication, compelling story-telling, theoretical and critical justification, and thorough documentation of your own design journey. Design processes are driven forward by feedback. Our studio-based approach emphasises assessment for learning, providing you with opportunities for ongoing weekly feedback, formative reviews and peer-learning to enable you to push your own boundaries. Your submissions will receive concise summative feedback to recognise the strengths in your work and provide recommendations to help you to achieve your potential.
