Course Description

The MA Interior Design at Cardiff Met will prepare you to play a key role in tackling climate change through environmentally sustainable interior design and specification.

The construction industry accounts for a significant proportion of the UK’s total carbon footprint, but responsible, innovative interior design can develop more sustainable solutions for new and existing buildings alike.

Our Interior Design Masters degree examines strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation, exploring relevant theories and techniques within the discipline.

Interior designers and architects have a unique opportunity to work directly with clients, advising them of their environmental and social responsibility, to creatively design functional and sustainable spaces that cater for human experience and habitation.

The MA Interior Design challenges you to create interior spaces that account for climate change and longevity, with a focus on design for occupant health and wellbeing, alongside the specification of environmentally sustainable products, materials and techniques.

Student Destinations

The MA Interior Design programme is designed to enable students to achieve the attributes of greater flexibility, adaptability, and individual responsibility and autonomy as climate conscious, environmentally sustainable interior design professionals or researchers. The course aims to develop individuality, creativity, self-reliance, initiative, and the ability to perform in rapidly changing environments as well as increasing competence with research skills and methods which will make graduates highly employable as academics and/or researchers or enable them to develop an active and sustained practice as interior designers.

The MA Interior Design enables graduates, as well as mid-career and professional practitioners, from within and outside of the discipline of interior design to negotiate and examine strategies for embedding climate conscious sustainable design decision making within the wider built environment sector.
