Create digital and physical worlds

At home, in work or on the move, interior design plays an increasingly important role in defining the identity and atmosphere of a room, building or space – and how people will consciously and subconsciously interact with it. Whilst studying this interior design architecture course in London, you will develop your own visual language by shadowing industry experts and established professionals in their own practices. 

During the three-year interior architecture and design degree, you will research, investigate and evolve ideas surrounding the creation, rehabilitation and reimagining of new and existing buildings and spaces. Taught by industry experts, many of whom run their own design practices, you will develop your own visual language and develop your personality as an interior designer.

Working with contemporary technologies in our design studio and workshops, you’ll explore and push design boundaries, balance style and function, examine user-experience, and consider the importance of sustainability. You will learn the tools and techniques that equip students with the necessary skillsets to navigate our digital and physical worlds through design.

If creating interior spaces across residential, office, retail, industrial or community environments ignites your passion, our BA (Hons) degree in Interior Design Environment Architectures will open the door to a range of career possibilities across new built environments and the rejuvenation and repurposing of existing buildings. You’ll research, investigate and evolve ideas surrounding the creation, rehabilitation and reimagining of new and existing buildings and spaces. This is the only course of it's kind, in the UK to be accredited by the ARB and the only Interior Architecture course worldwide to be validated by RIBA
