About this course

Through our Interior Design programme, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to address the functionality, safety and quality of interior spaces while learning to craft their own aesthetic vision from concept to reality. The curriculum is extremely hands-on! Every project and assignment is crafted specifically to equip student with the skills needed to enter the workforce as a designer. The programme is carefully balanced, pairing the fun, exciting aspect of hands-on design with the necessary knowledge, research and technical skills. The programme develops students further by providing discerning insights into the language of materials, lighting, colour, furniture and technical components.Interior design education is by nature as transdisciplinary as sustainability education. In this programme, students learn about environment-human behaviour relationships through holistic, systems-based means, encompassing the fundamental components of sustainability. A model of sustainable education, embedded in and represented by the interior design education curriculum, may be translated and potentially imitated by other non life-science disciplines. These programmes incorporate a curriculum that emphasises the design and construction of buildings that conserve resources and interact with public
