Program Overview

Our Interior Architecture BA offers a distinctive approach to design, focusing on adapting existing buildings into innovative, functional, and inspiring interior environments.

Unlike traditional architecture, this discipline focuses on designing from the inside out, creating spaces that inspire and challenge how we live and move through the world.

With regeneration at its core, this course fosters a  a forward-thinking approach. You’ll explore a range of design scales, from the body to the room and the building, addressing climate change, social justice, and sustainability.

You’ll engage in hands-on studio work and workshops that blend physical craftsmanship with digital skills, fostering creativity and critical inquiry. Through real-world scenarios, community outreach, and the exploration of trends and material potential, you’ll design meaningful, context-sensitive solutions. 

The course embraces an interdisciplinary approach, spanning interior, exhibition, set, lighting design, conservation, and retail. You’ll graduate with a specialised professional portfolio that seamlessly integrates technical expertise, cultural insights, and commercial acumen. Equipped to meet the demands of modern practice, you'll be ready for careers in interior and architecture-related fields, shaping spaces, communities, and the future.
