Art and Design BA (Hons) Interior Design
What’s it about?
Interior Design is broad based, covering many aspects of interior architecture (commercial building interiors) and temporary structures (exhibition, museum and film/TV set design). A wide range of modules allow you to direct your studies to areas of interior design that particularly interest you.
The programme is staffed by practicing designers and as such has a strong record of attracting input from leading figures in the design industry as visiting speakers, as well as considerable input from specialist professionals as module tutors. Visits to developments, buildings, practices and showrooms are built into the course, as are overseas exchanges.
What will I learn?
Year 1 opens with a challenging programme of short projects to stimulate your creativity and develop your design thinking; it progresses on to the exploration of specific Interior Design skills. In the second semester you will investigate design in context and have the opportunity to work alongside students from the other disciplines. You will be able to acquire experience of computing for design, to extend your awareness of visual communication and to develop an understanding of cultural and theoretical studies in relation to design.
Year 2 focuses on professional practice and what it means to be a designer. It is underpinned with the study of marketing, business and management issues. It involves examination of the global context of design in the early 21st century and usually includes the opportunity to undertake a study visit abroad. Again there is a wide range of supporting options including further specialization in technological media (CAD), international cultural studies, and visual communication.
Year 3 provides you with the possibility of creating a personal programme through a series of specialist modules. The programme culminates in a double self-directed module which you propose and negotiate. There is plenty of scope for experiment, to explore boundaries and to investigate some new areas, further increasing your portfolio of skills (eg, Component Design, Advanced Communication Design).
Modules include: • 3D Design Fundamentals • Materials and Design • Building Analysis for Interior Architecture • Architectural Theory • Professional Design Frameworks
How will I learn? You will mainly learn through studio and project-based work with lectures, seminars and both one-to-one and group tutorial guidance from our staff who are practicing designers. We also have considerable input from specialist professionals and guest lectures from leading figures in the design industry.
Can I get work experience? The programme continues to collaborate with the industry via placements, often leading to excellent experiences and outcomes. The valuable knowledge and experience this gives our students can not be underestimated, as placements frequently lead to permanent employment.
There is an option to study overseas at a variety of European destinations. Teaching is in English and all EU exchanges are supported by an Erasmus grant.
Where can I get a job?
The programme has an outstanding graduate employment record, both in the local design community and recently further afield in both Architecture and Interior Design practices in Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco. Our alumni are now working in premier design organisations – BDP, Judge Gill, Stephenson Bell, Leach Rhodes Walker, Sheppard Robson, The Co-Op, MBLC, as well as further a field in Hong Kong and Australia.
