Graduates of the Interior Architecture programme from Aalto University work as interior architects in design and architect studios, as independent entrepreneurs, and as in-house designers in industry. They also work as designers, managers, researchers and teachers, and engage in artistic practice. The programme prepares its graduates also for doctoral studies.

Their tasks typically include spatial, surface, interior and lighting design in interior renovations and alterations.
