Introduction
The BSc in Interior Design has an emphasis on creativity and problem-solving while building professional competencies such as adaptability, rationality, and accountability in design thinking. Through interactive lectures and practical workshops, students are trained to design the interior and exterior aspects of the built environment with a focus on creating unique spaces that offer a positive atmosphere for stakeholders and end-users alike, in a safe and environmentally sustainable way.
The objective of this degree is to blend the fundamentals of design and technology with business and entrepreneurship through behavioral, technological, sustainable, and aesthetic exploration. Students learn the theoretical aspects of space and the built environment and apply them practically through internships while they are in their final year. The curriculum supports the professional and multidisciplinary philosophy with students being encouraged to take advantage of the wide variety of courses offered at CUD to foster and develop their interests and talents.
