Course Overview

Looking at real-world challenges to transform interior spaces - both old and new - our new BA (Hons) Interior Design degree at UCA Canterbury bridges the gaps between architecture, fine art and spatial practice. You'll work alongside students across the School of Architecture and Design to create designs for various settings, and question and consider the role of the designer in contemporary society. Through experimentation, play and research you will engage with design briefs as agents of social, cultural, political, and economic change. As a result of this vigorous blend of practical and research-led study, you'll become a confident and innovative interior designer with focus on social responsibility, materiality, specification, and careful control of the holistic human experience, in interior spaces. As part of the course, you'll benefit from interaction with industry through live project opportunities, masterclasses, and optionally - professional work experience placement, if you choose the Professional Practice Year pathway – building industry-relevant skills to ensure that you graduate ready for the workplace. BA (Hons) Interior Design at OCA will challenge your preconceptions of what space is, and how you can shape it, by exploring how people and society relate to their environments. The course will harness your creativity, helping you to become a spatial dreamer, architectural investigator and playful innovator of interiors.
