Create digital and physical worlds

At home, at work or on the move, interior design plays an increasingly important role in defining the identity and atmosphere of a room, building or space – and how people will consciously and subconsciously interact with it. Whilst studying this interior design course in London, you will develop your own visual language by shadowing industry experts and established professionals in their own practices.

During the three-year interior architecture and design degree, you will research, investigate and evolve ideas surrounding the creation, rehabilitation and reimagining of new and existing buildings and spaces. Taught by industry experts, many of whom run their own design practices, you will develop your own visual language and develop your personality as an interior designer.

Working with contemporary technologies in our design studio and workshops, you’ll explore and push design boundaries, balance style and function, examine user experience, and consider the importance of sustainability. You will learn the tools and techniques that equip students with the necessary skill sets to navigate our digital and physical worlds through design.

If creating interior spaces across the residential, office, retail, industrial or community environments ignites your passion, our BA Honours degree in Interior Design Environment Architecture will open the door to a range of career possibilities across newly built environments and the rejuvenation and repurposing of existing buildings.

Creatives who wish to reimagine our digital and physical worlds through interior design and architecture.

Year 1

Students will build skills in communication and representation, construction and dual-use environment.

Alongside this, they will begin to think about their own design and angles on problems of the built environment.

We encourage students to start thinking about their contextual studies research.

Year 2

Students will gain a greater understanding of urban history and theory, urban design, and design for commercial and retail environments, as well as rehabilitation.

This will allow them to enhance their practice and develop their approach to their design work.

We set briefs that encourage students to collaborate with others and create work as part of a design team.

Year 3

Students will bring their learning together in a final negotiated major project, where they will investigate and make architectural design decisions.

Alongside this, they will carry out a negotiated project in the form of a live brief.

We ask students to show their contextual studies research and thinking in a long-form dissertation.

Students will leave with a portfolio that shows their skills in areas of entry-level architecture.
