Interior Design (including a Foundation Year) BA (Hons)

Meet the demands of contemporary interior design practice as you gain an understanding in traditional design principles and digital technology.<br/><br/>Our course reflects the demands of contemporary interior design practice. We forefront the practice of design through concept development, prototypes, presentations, specialist software skills and hands-on experience with materials.<br/><br/>The ethos of the Department is that the study of art and design is a culturally and economically significant endeavour that is intellectually challenging and emotionally rewarding. This philosophy is shared by our students, who thrive in the creative and<br/>collaborative environment we have nurtured at our Creative Campus.<br/><br/>The disciplines studied within the Department foster freedom of expression and the development of abstract concepts to material expressive form. We place importance on experimenting and generating creative, imaginative connections. We aspire to be innovative and professional in everything we do, and we have a playful approach to media, materials and processes. We have mutual respect for each other’s practice and foster a creative community within the Department, Faculty, University and city.<br/><br/>Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
