Unlock Your Creative Potential at Cardiff Metropolitan University

Cardiff Metropolitan University is an excellent choice for students interested in interior design due to its strong reputation in the field. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in top design firms, architecture practices, and more. The university's location in Cardiff also provides access to a rich cultural and creative environment, with numerous museums, galleries, and architectural landmarks to inspire and influence student work.

Whilst your learning is designed to develop you into a rounded and capable interior designer/artist and intellectual, your curriculum is similarly structured with your potential in mind. As such, the emphasis that will have been placed upon your work ethic, both creatively and academically, is matched with a significant focus on real-world experience; from building contacts and undertaking placements to live briefs and, should you choose so, support in forming your own business.

You will have the opportunity to engage with clients in your final year and have the option of devising a detailed business plan should that be appropriate, rather than submitting a dissertation.

Graduates from the programme are well-placed to join interior design companies and work as independent designers. Some take further training, for example, a PGCE. Some elect to take their studies further by studying at CSAD for a Master's level qualification and there are opportunities to take this further still, through a Professional Doctorate in Design or a PhD.
