BA (Hons) Interior Architecture

Situated at the junction of architecture, critical spatial practice and fine art, BA (Hons) Interior Architecture at UCA Canterbury will show you how to transform unused and underused spaces and places. Interior Architecture and Interior Design are two closely linked disciplines with significant overlap in terms of skills and design processes. As you study Interior Architecture, you'll focus on the interface between the existing and proposed elements of a design, or in a new building, between the construction detailing, services (electrical, plumbing, air handling etc) and the interior spatial experience. You'll learn about these things through progressive briefs that engage with real-world challenges, through research, and through design as your primary means of inquiry. You'll be given the freedom and confidence to speculate, and become aware of your social responsibility as a designer of the built environment. By the end of the course, you'll be a socially responsible, confident, innovative, and entrepreneurial graduate who has the knowledge, skills, and abilities to play an active role in practice or postgraduate study. 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.
