Course Overview

You could work as a designer in commercial, residential, hospitality and health sectors, and design and space planning in schools and further and higher education, retail design and visual merchandising, technical computer-aided (CAD) design work or CAD visualisation, lighting design, exhibition and museum design, interior product and branding, or an interior specialist within architectural practices.

Generally based on the conversion of existing buildings, the interior designer considers the client's needs and the building’s end use, the creation of interior spatial layouts, and improving circulation and function. As an interior designer, you specify materials, design fittings and furniture, and select colour palettes and lighting schemes.

You focus on existing and emerging design trends, including health, wellbeing and sustainability, and engage with socially and ethically-focused agendas essential in current practice. You learn how to contextualise interiors about people and society and participate in live projects and national competitions that replicate professional practice, preparing you to become a creative design professional who can work with a range of clients.
