The programme covers the study and design of interior space in relation to a wide range of public and private environments. Our students develop skills through innovative projects that enable them to explore the design potential of existing buildings, finding new uses for old or redundant spaces. Many approaches are possible, ranging from the sculptural and conceptual to the specific and technical.
Throughout the programme, we encourage our students to treat each project as an opportunity to study whichever aspects of interior design appear most interesting or personally relevant. As a result, each student becomes individually responsible for the direction and content of their own programmes. Students must, therefore, be ready to establish personal goals and possess a high level of personal motivation. Their design work is focused through tutorials, expert advice and critical appraisal. This is reinforced by strong links with commercial design consultancies and architectural practices, creating a design culture which is engaged in all aspects of spatial design and interior architecture.
