Interior Design

Interior Design has gained the status of an independent discipline that involves improving living conditions by creating an environment that combines aesthetic principles as well as anthropology and ergonomics. Interior Design helps the growing functionality and quality of interior spaces by combining creativity with visual sensitivity as well as technical elements. Interior Design is related to similar disciplines such as Graphic Design, Industrial Design and Landscape Architecture.

There are three main areas of interest in Interior Design: house decoration, residential design and commercial design. Studies offer knowledge and relevant information on elements and principles of design, architectural design and survey, interior planning, or graphic techniques for interior design.

Interior Design helps students develop creative abilities and excellent interpersonal skills. Interior design professionals are generally organised people with a great attention to detail. In terms of technical skills, these students require the ability to make calculations and to be proficient in design software applications. You will be responsible for selecting the convenient materials and products that will be used to create and furnish living spaces and must know how texture, colour, lighting and other factors combine and interact.

Interior Desing graduates usually embrace careers as interior designers, landscape decorators, event planners, exhibitions designers, etc.

Students with a high school diploma or its equivalent from outside Jordan can enroll in higher education institutions directly through websites of public and private universities or intermediate community colleges based on their averages. Universities implement the credit hours system, which allows students to choose courses according to their study plan.

Students wishing to enroll in a master's program must hold a bachelor's degree. Furthermore, students who wish to enroll in doctoral programs must hold a master's degree.

In addition, students wishing to enroll in postgraduate programs are required to provide a certificate confirming their English proficiency level in a TOEFL or IELTS exam. They could also demonstrate a certain proficiency level in French or German. Lastly, they could take an English language exam held by the higher education institution they apply in.

In the event that the student fails to prove the required level of English, German or French, or fails the English equivalency exam, they may study a qualifying program in English at the university where they undertake additional six credit hours; he/she must score a minimum grade that varies according to their specialization.
