Interior Design BA (Hons)

Interior Design practice involves the reuse of existing buildings and places to reinvent them to support a new range of activities. Central to this is making sure they are fit for purpose in terms of human occupation, inclusivity and accessibility, as well as reducing the environmental impact of buildings.<br/><br/>Having a responsive attitude to the diverse social issues people face is key to our discipline. By this approach, we make sure the interiors we create positively impact the lives of those who use and inhabit them.<br/><br/><strong>The studio</strong><br/><br/>Our programme here at Edinburgh will introduce you to the study of Interior Design in our dedicated studio space.
