Interior Design (with Integrated Foundation & Professional Practice Years) - BA (Hons)

University for the Creative Arts

BA (Hons) Interior Design with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year is a five-year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your skills and creativity before you start the first year of the degree course and your fourth year would be an industry placement to further develop your skills and CV. Learn the art of influencing how people experience space, from homes to hotels. Interior Design is as much about people as it is about place. You need to know design principles and understand architecture, but you also need to understand human psychology: how we move through spaces and what we need from our environment. On this course, we’ll train you to combine technical skills and creative thinking – through real projects at real scale. You'll have your own dedicated studio for all three years – readily accessible and large enough to work at the scale that interior projects demand. You’ll build site models that stay up for months, test full-scale prototypes, and develop ideas the way professional designers actually do – over time. With London’s ultra-modern skyline and Kent’s heritage coast both nearby, you’ll get exposure to everything from commercial retail and hospitality projects to civic spaces and ancient buildings. By the time you graduate, you'll have a jam-packed portfolio, a diverse range of experience, and a clear sense of the direction you want to take your career.
