    Interior Design & Styling

    About

    This course is one of a rare few in the UK designed to develop your skills in Interior Design and Styling, emphasising colour, surface and ambience in a range of environments. From a door handle or light switch to the impact of colour, texture and materials in a range of interior environments, this course will ensure you enter industry as a well-rounded interiors specialist.

    Our Interior Design & Styling degree generates inspired graduates, who are both visually intelligent and well acquainted with technical drawing packages. Cutting across a range of interior disciplines, here you'll gain a great introduction to designing interiors for a range of environments - from residential and commercial spaces to public realm and even transport.

    Learning within the School of Design + Communication, your studies will place special emphasis on colour, surface, decoration and ambience in a range of interior contexts, both public and private. You'll develop your own distinct taste in style curation, exploring lighting, furnishing, materiality and textural finishes to make your design concepts a reality.

    The School of Design + Communication acknowledges the rich history of design relative to industry and manufacturing, whilst embracing radical new forms of design as modes of intervention, play and transformation. By utilising new technologies, identifying emerging markets and defining more sustainable methods in their work, we bring purposeful design into everyday lives to solve the most urgent issues we face as a community and society.

    Our unit structure applies to all of our undergraduate courses and creates a culture that promotes curiosity and creative thinking that extends beyond subject boundaries. Thematic approaches encourage an environment of free-flowing creative learning and opportunities for collaboration. Each unit will be contextualised by the subject specialism, and delivery will manifest uniquely through the specialist lens of each course.
