As the economic structure of our working lives moves in step with change throughout our world we must be able to provide environments that respond to our needs. Interior architects look at the alteration, revision, extension and addition to existing built fabric. Interior designers work at the interface between a finished project and the user, and can change the way we perceive space and form.

All the programmes develop your design abilities through a series of increasingly complex projects, options and problems set in different contexts. You develop your own design ‘personality’ through your attitude and philosophical approach to given situations, frequently by speculating on future needs and possibilities.
A distinctive feature of the programme is that Stage 1 is taught in common with the programme in Architecture. The School benefits from excellent facilities including newly-equipped studios, a computing suite, darkroom and model workshop, and the Interior Architecture programme includes a field trip to Barcelona at Stage 1.
