COURSE CURRICULUM

The Interior Design BA (Hons) program is structured across three academic years, each progressively building theoretical understanding, technical skill, and professional practice. In Year 1, students study Critical & Contextual Studies 1 (Interiors), Design Principles for Interiors, Interior Design Communication and Techniques, and Spatial Design, which introduce foundational concepts of spatial awareness, design thinking, visual communication, and contextual understanding of interior environments. In Year 2, learning becomes more applied through Critical & Contextual Studies 2 (Interiors), Design Details, Human Scale, and Interior Design Practices and Techniques, focusing on refinement of design development, attention to detail, and user-centred approaches that consider human interaction with space. In Year 3, students advance to independent and professional-level work through Critical & Contextual Studies 3: Dissertation (Interiors), Integrated Design Practice, Major Project Realisation: Interior Design, and Project Design and Development for Interiors. This final stage emphasises research, critical analysis, and the execution of a substantial design project that demonstrates creative maturity and technical competence. Across all three years, the program supports progressive skill development, encouraging experimentation, problem-solving, and the integration of theory with practice. By end of course, students equipped with knowledge, experience, and confidence required for careers in interior design and creative industries.
