Our MA Interior Design course enables you to develop an individual approach to spatial design within a stimulating, creative and supportive environment.

This degree provides you with a launchpad to potential higher level interior design careers within a diverse range of subjects. These include museum and exhibition design, design for film, television and digital games and brand interpretation for retail, leisure or promotional events.

An emphasis on ecological issues and processes is also a prominent aspect of this course, and underpins all aspects of the course.

About this course

You'll explore your area of interest to an advanced level, through establishing new spatial paradigms that build on your existing knowledge. Our course combines theoretical and practical skills, and encourages engagement with industry at all levels.

In-depth research into design processes and technologies, along with related work placement opportunities, will prepare you for new career directions. Your project work will be supported by ongoing staff research into sustainability, architecture, design-related digital technologies, experiential environments and brand communication.

You'll be taught through tutorials, seminars, self-directed study in relation to your project proposal, work-in-progress reviews and visits or references to sites of local and international interest.

Course stages
  • Contexts and Methods

    A series of lectures and seminars are used within the unit to address core thinking and practice in
    contemporary and historic architecture, fine art and design. An overview of key thematic debates,
    historic movements, concepts of cultural production, spatial perception and cognition, material
    tactility and embodied relations are outlined. These form a critical intellectual context for you
    to contemplate your particular research agendas.

  • Exploratory Practice

    This unit provides an intensive first immersion into creative studio practice. It generates distinct individual modes and themes of enquiry that may subsequently inform the detailed development of a project proposal for the latter stages of the MA. It secondly introduces you to the complexities, demands and moments of failure inherent in self-managing and delivering ambitious fabricated spatial outcomes.

During stage two you begin developing your MA project, evaluating and testing out the aims of your proposal over a sustained period of self-directed study.

Course stages
  • Project Development

    Work undertaken during the ‘Project Development’ unit normally builds upon that initiated in
    previous units of the MA. It seeks to explicitly integrate stands of theoretical and applied or practical
    research into a considerably more resolved and advanced line of enquiry that can sustain the
    remainder of the MA project.

In the third stage of the course, you'll apply the knowledge gained through your research to create a final body of work.

Course stages
  • Final Realisation

    The ‘Final Realisation’ unit is the culmination of the MA programme of study and so forms an
    exposition and practical manifestation of ideas, concepts, and degrees of sophisticated practice
    achieved. It should achieve a resolution to investigations initiated in all previous units and deliver a
    single body of work that demonstrates advanced conceptual, technological and practical capability.
