Study Details: 1 year (full time)
The course is equivalent to the third year of an interior design undergraduate course. As well as helping you to progress onto postgraduate level study, the course will also aid your transition into the professional world of interior design. Students on this course come from many different backgrounds but most have already gained a first degree.
Students will be invited to take part in a 'Live' project competition to design to an external client's brief. The client type, programme and opportunity will vary each year. Students are encouraged to attend trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences and other industry events to network with professionals.

This unit is an introduction to your course, the College and the University. Projects will focus on the design of a series of domestic and residential spaces. You’ll create a design proposal, exploring the different ways of analysing design problems. This could include sketching, collage, technical drawing and model-making techniques. You’ll then build your designs using a selection of materials, construction techniques and technologies. As these designs develop, you’ll be encouraged to consider the cultural, social and sustainable impact of your practice. This will help you fully understand interior design as both a creative and professional process.
In this unit, you’ll initiate your own design project in the public realm. You’ll choose a location, make an analysis of an interior and establish a design brief for a new programme of habitation or occupation. You’ll consider the material concerns and experiential qualities, including fabrication, construction and sustainability. You’ll produce written work to support your methodology and outcomes. During workshops, you’ll undertake exercises in site analysis and present your design solutions to your peers. There will also be talks hosted by artists, designers and architects. At the end of the course, you’ll present your work at the College show.
