Welcome to the BA (hons) Interior Architecture website
As the UK’s first accredited Interior Architecture course we regard design as a creative but analytical process developed through a critical study of design. A passion for poetic assembly is encouraged and our focus is on the creating of distinctive moods for distinctive cultures – we look at the modelling and remodelling of every aspect of new and existing architecture, not simply dealing with the surface decoration of ‘changing rooms’.

Being located in the centre of one of Europe’s fastest growing cities and in an art school environment brings vibrancy to the course that a suburban school campus could not.
After completing the course, graduates have skills which enable them to operate in many design fields as well as in the particular world of interior architecture/design for public and private buildings. The course is well connected with leading designers in the field.

The curriculum is consciously constructed to provide transferable skills to other pathways such as exhibition and museum design, furniture, product and theatre design, design journalism, research, teaching, postgraduate study in design, design history and theory. We keep a database of past graduates that aims to act as an employment exchange for current students.
