Interior Design (with Advanced Practice)

Overview

Interior design is a rapidly growing creative industry, designing stimulating environments for living, working, shopping, commerce and almost every possible human activity.

Normally based around the conversion of existing buildings, the interior designer considers the needs of the client and building’s end use, the creation of interior spatial layouts, and improving circulation and function. Working as an interior designer, you specify materials, design fittings and furniture, and select colour palettes and lighting schemes.

You focus on existing and emerging design trends including health, wellbeing and sustainability, and engage with socially and ethically-focused agendas essential in current practice.
