Interior Design

Overview

Good design can positively affect our everyday lives and can be of vital importance in creating a better, more sustainable future for all. This degree teaches you the importance of location, context and client – preparing you for a fast-paced, professional career in interior design.

Examining both public and private spaces, you’ll learn how new designs are created in response to the purpose of a space and the needs of its user – going beyond aesthetics to consider history, location, functionality and environmental impact. You'll develop your own approach and learn to create spaces that improve the lives of those who use them.

First, you'll experiment with adapting existing spaces. Then you'll create chic, modern, sustainable spaces from scratch – translating ideas into sketches, CAD drawings and 3D models, and communicating them via presentations, pitches and portfolios. You'll learn how to read briefs, cost and manage projects, and inspire clients by developing a strong narrative – ensuring they're on board with your concept and feel comfortable paying.

Your hard work culminates in a final design show, where you'll showcase your work to an audience including press and industry professionals – view this year's portfolios.

On campus, access:

Design studios and workshops
Mac and PC labs with industry software
Professional photography studios
AutoCAD lab with plotter

As you learn, you'll enhance your creativity, confidence, skillset, capacity for innovation and future potential – ready for employment.

You will also develop your study skills and abilities in academic English for degree-level study.
Writing for Success at University	This module develops your writing skills and knowledge, to prepare you for success at university. You will consider writing as a process that is shaped by your knowledge of genre, audience and purpose – and you’ll learn to identify common features of successful academic writing. Engage with motivating writing challenges that support the skills required in the Foundation, and the skills you will need to complete written tasks at degree-level. You will explore aspects such as style, register, structure and referencing, and learn to harness digital tools to aid your writing. In this module, you will take on board feedback and use it to develop further. You will also reflect on the overall process of becoming a more proficient academic writer, all within a supportive classroom atmosphere. As a result, you be able to approach your assessment tasks with confidence, demonstrating your learning in written tasks across your studies.
Critical Thinking	In a world of conflicting ideas and the advent of "post-truth" and "fake news", being able to think critically and investigate information is crucial. This module is designed to improve your critical thinking and reflecting skills. You will learn tools that will help you evaluate information, investigate what is true, differentiate between opinion and fact, and determine strong arguments from weak. Understanding how we know what we know is one of the most fundamental aspects of university education and, in this module, you will develop a foundation in decision-making and reasoning that will help you academically and in your future career.
Cultural Understanding	In this module, you will study a range of cultural industries – contemporary, historical, local and global. You will trace how ideas develop in different cultural industries from inception to materialisation, explaining the values that underpin cultural output. You will develop your understanding of the role that curiosity and creativity have played in the development of culture and the technologies used within the cultural landscape. You will consider decision-making processes, gaining an understanding of how cultural industries are created, how culture is mediated and produced, and what impact it has on its human and physical environments. The module will encourage you to engage with specific case studies, and provide a broader understanding of the social, political and economic contexts that contribute to the place of culture in society.
Politics, Society and Citizenship	In this module, you will be introduced to the basic principles of politics, society and citizenship. What is society, and how is it shaped by politics? Who are we as citizens? You will explore your political values by examining some real-world problems and debating with other students about how to deal with them. By working with other students, you will explore how political engagement works within and across societies. By the end of the module, you will have the tools to develop a more critical and thoughtful attitude to citizenship, which you will take forward for the rest of your life.
Term 2
The Creative in Context	The module aims to develop your understanding of the scale and breadth of contemporary forms and practices within the broader design environment and in different contexts. The skills you will acquire are integral to your understanding of how to locate your professional and creative role in the changing landscape of contemporary design. Harnessing your visual curiosity, you will build the confidence to produce and present imaginative outcomes. You will also gather and curate an ambitious portfolio of work, which you will keep updated throughout your professional and creative journey. You will also continue to develop your study skills and abilities in academic English for degree-level study.
Communications	Communication is the power to inform, persuade and bring people together to enact change. Whether verbal, non-verbal or written, communication is key to your success in university and future career. This module will enable you to improve your own communication and to evaluate the way communication works to convey ideas. Taking an active approach, you will work through complex stories and messages, finding new ways to communicate simply, clearly and effectively. You will practice observation, understand and evaluate context, and learn to empathise with your audience to craft persuasive and professional outputs. Reflecting on culture and identity is an important part of understanding the communication environment. You will work with and draw on your own experience, and that of your peers, to acknowledge differences and find connections. You will use collaboration and networking to help develop an individual final output that may use a variety of media.
Creativity and Entrepreneurship	In a business environment, creativity is most often defined as the ability to imagine the unique ideas whilst innovation is defined as the process that transforms the creative ideas into real commercial product or services. Starting from this point of view, this module will help you to critically evaluate how creativity contributes to successful entrepreneurship practice. Today’s organisations are aware of the importance of entrepreneurial and managerial creativity as a desired behaviour in identifying opportunities that lead to entrepreneurial success. In this module, you will have the opportunity to understand the role of managerial creativity for growth and wellbeing of organisations and in society. You will cover topics such as innovative organisations; entrepreneurial creativity and decision making; transformational leadership; creative behaviour; employee innovation; and engaging with the creative process in the workplace.
Cultural Industries	In this module, you will study a range of cultural industries, whether contemporary or historical, local or global. Tracing how ideas develop from inception to materialisation in different cultural industries will enable you to explain the values that underpin cultural output. You will develop your understanding of the role that curiosity and creativity have played in the development of culture and the technologies used within the cultural landscape. By considering decision-making processes, you will gain an understanding of how cultural industries are created, how culture is mediated and produced, and what impact it has on its human and physical environment. The module will encourage both an engagement with specific case studies and a broader understanding of the social, political and economic contexts that contribute to the place of culture in society.
Making Use of Data	Data are all around us and play a crucial role in decision-making at all levels and sectors. The analysis and visualisation of data is a key skill in today’s job markets. It is not only the foundation of efficient organisations, but a means unlocking critical insights to inform present and the future operations. In this module, you will gain a conceptual appreciation of the nature of data in its many forms, and how we use it to enhance daily working processes. You also gain an appreciation of the ethical issues around data governance and representation. You will gain practical knowledge in data analysis by exploring the broad ecosystem data analytics platforms, and by building up key skills in Microsoft Excel, the most popular data analytics platform in the world. Throughout a series of applied sessions, you will use these skills to effectively explore, visualise, and analyse data of all kinds.

The module will relate to the work undertaken in Major Project I, allowing you to explore some of the conceptual, programmatic and site-specific ideas you are developing this term through a design intervention. You will be encouraged to experiment and to develop your individual design language, in preparation for your final design project in Term 2, building on the learning, creativity and professionalism you have acquired over the last two years. You will be encouraged to explore your design ideas at a detailed level, focussing on materials, inhabitation and spatial experience. You will continue to develop your analogue and digital communication skills and will be challenged to continuously consider your position as a responsible designer.
Design: Realisation	This module is run in conjunction with Major Project II. It provides you with an opportunity to focus on a detailed part of the final design proposal you are creating.
