Programme overview

Why choose this programme?

- Benefit from our forward-thinking approach to the built environment with our unique programme structure
- Learn from a diverse group of leading interior designers, thinkers and researchers, each offering a different angle
- Develop your own voice through our student-centred teaching methods and supportive community

How can interior design address climate change and social injustice? On our cutting-edge programme, you’ll consider the spatial and environmental aspects of buildings but also explore the implications of different forms of inhabitation, materialities, identities and diversity viewpoints.

We’ve created a distinctive course structure where you’ll explore three platforms of interior design, focused on reuse, materiality and future practices. Speculate about what’s on the horizon, examine what can be repurposed and analyse the potential of materials.
Thinking through making

In today’s predominantly digital society, there’s something special about working with your hands. In our studios and workshops, you’ll gain experience of constructing installations and ‘thinking through making’, as well as digital experience. We’ll encourage you to question, experiment and challenge your processes.

Interior designers enjoy a wide range of opportunities. You could go on to work in a cultural context, an exhibition space or a work-related, leisure or retail setting. You may find a role in a large design practice, set up on your own or pursue further research.
