Year 4
Year 4 focuses on the generation and development of a final major project. We expect all students to test and demonstrate all professional skills acquired over the programme through one large project. This project is self-elected, meaning students are required to carefully create and implement their own design brief, and then generate an end-to-end interior design project in line with it. This is supported with classes that enable the student to accurately and critically locate, reflect on and develop, their own practice and methodologies.
