Study Details: 1 year / 45 week programme
Full-time study
How can interior design address climate change and social injustice? On our cutting-edge programme, you’ll consider the spatial and environmental aspects of buildings but also explore the implications of different forms of inhabitation, materialities, identities and diversity viewpoints.
We’ve created a distinctive course structure where you’ll explore three platforms of interior design, focused on reuse, materiality and future practices. Speculate about what’s on the horizon, examine what can be repurposed and analyse the potential of materials.
In today’s predominantly digital society, there’s something special about working with your hands. In our studios and workshops, you’ll gain experience of constructing installations and ‘thinking through making’, as well as digital experience. We’ll encourage you to question, experiment and challenge your processes.
Interior designers enjoy a wide range of opportunities. You could go on to work in a cultural context, an exhibition space or a work-related, leisure or retail setting. You may find a role in a large design practice, set up on your own or pursue further research.
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process will consider creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio and video, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall.
You will usually have a good undergraduate degree or other appropriate experience. Professional experience, either before during or after a first degree, may be a benefit. We welcome applications from candidates from other related backgrounds, such as architecture, furniture design, product design and graphic design.
Graduates are creative catalysts and visionaries who go on to lead in design consultancies, join large established companies, and to set up their own design studios and start-ups. They also become film-makers, undertake further research and become academics.
