Interior designers understand how people live, work, and play. They know how our sense of place can influence the way we feel. Creating spaces, places and environments You will discover how light, sound, materials, colour and surfaces, technology and detail, can elicit emotional responses and create atmosphere; whether for spaces for living or working, commercial or domestic. During this course you will explore the creative, scientific and functional considerations that designers who deal with space need to consider. The course is designed for you to gain a confident understanding and intellectual awareness of the nature of spaces, a working knowledge of the technical, legal and logistical skills the interior designer needs, and the opportunity to engage with contemporary interior design practice.

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 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 and in your final year and have the option of devising a detailed business plan should that be appropriate, rather than submit a dissertation. Graduates from the programme are well placed to join interior design companies, 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.
