Interior Design practice involves the reuse of existing buildings and places to reinvent them to support a new range of activities. Central to this is making sure they are fit for purpose in terms of human occupation, inclusivity and accessibility, as well as reducing the environmental impact of our built environment.
Having a responsive attitude to the diverse social issues people face is key to our discipline. By this approach, we make sure the interiors we create positively impact the lives of those who use and inhabit them.
The studio
Our programme at Edinburgh will introduce you to the study of Interior Design in our dedicated studio space. Experienced permanent staff are joined by visiting industry experts who will support and challenge you to experiment and takes risks as you explore the design process.
You will be encouraged to bring your own themes and agendas to the table, and to share and learn from our combined diversity.

Year 1
In Year 1 we explore interior design using project briefs in real and imagined spaces through:
- physical hand drawings
- sketchbooks
- model-making
Projects and activities will support you to develop an understanding of creative interior design thinking, and how these approaches can serve as a driver for interior design solutions.
You will be encouraged to experiment with a range of drawing approaches to develop fundamental skills in free-hand drawing and orthographic projection. Sessions include local field trips to analyse and draw interior spaces.
Year 2
By Year 2 the design projects you engage with increase in their complexity. You will begin to apply developed knowledge and skills to design solutions and expand your critical thinking through:
- precedent study analysis
- inclusive design principles
- socially contextual projects
Year 2 courses will develop both your digital presentation and CAD skills further, practiced across a range of projects. Themes include:
- change of use
- sustainable approaches
- material understanding
Year 3
At this stage in your academic career, you are asked to reflect on your area of practice and to develop strategic approaches to interior design.
Areas of focus include:
- spatial layout
- the section
- material specification and assembly
- lighting design
Courses expand in scope to challenge both your technical skill set and intellectual ability. Year 3 projects engage with branding, detailing, accessibility and inclusivity.
Year 4
During Year 4, you will use your design skills and individual creative ambition to define and complete an interior design project and brief aligned to:
