BA (Hons) Interior Design

Course Overview

Overview

Senior Lecturer Nicky Harding discusses why you should study Interior Design at DMU.

On this course you will reimagine existing interiors and challenge the idea of ‘space’ to create innovative and experiential new spaces. Interior Design focuses on the way people interact within these environments, considering comfort, usability, effectiveness, aesthetics and emotional connection.

You’ll explore the regeneration of real buildings and sites, turning them into exciting new spaces for exhibition, retail, leisure, performance, spiritual, eating and socialising purposes. You'll also develop visual communication skills in drawing, 3D modelling, computing, video-modelscope, computer-aided design (CAD) and virtual reality. Your work will respond to future global challenges whilst reflecting the importance of sustainability and inclusivity.

You'll develop your own personal design style and learn to communicate your creative solutions with confidence. Our aim is to nurture these skills so that you graduate as a well-rounded designer with a broad portfolio ready for industry.
