If you’re passionate about interiors and the built environment, and you want to explore making with analogue and digital methods, this Master’s could be for you.
This course focuses on the interior and developing an understanding of the built environment through sensory and affective engagement.
You’ll study in an interdisciplinary environment with our other architecture courses as you learn to understand your strengths and disciplinary skills in the wider design environment. You’ll be encouraged to engage with interior spaces through creative practice, experimentation, material engagement, and tangible and intangible matters, and learn to use advanced technologies and tools such as 3D printers and augmented and virtual reality in our Centre for Creative and Immersive Extended Reality (CCIXR), the UK’s first integrated facility to support innovation in virtual, augmented and extended realities.
On this course you’ll explore the everyday lives of communities and their role in the environment, culture, economy, the political, and the aesthetic. You’ll discover practices of care, and consider carefulness and communication as you engage with climate change by looking at city scale infrastructures among other things. You’ll explore everyday detail and the relationship between our lived experience and the structures that impact how we live. You’ll also explore strategies for reusing of buildings and work with local communities in socially engaged projects.

During this course you’ll guide and develop your own studies, reflect on your design practice to date, and explore where you would like to go in the future and how you would like to work. You’ll build your portfolio by taking part in competitions and working with others in the School of Architecture.
By engaging with live projects and networking with practicing designers/architects, you’ll build your professional experience and network. You’ll learn to work collaboratively, engage in interdisciplinary projects, and to build your team working skills. You’ll develop your critical thinking and perspective, which gives you an edge over others with undergraduate portfolios.
You’ll take part in an interim show in June, and the School of Architecture end of year show, where you’ll exhibit your work and network with prospective employers. You may also exhibit at the Interior Educators Exhibition in July. Previous students have had work exhibited at the Oxo Tower, London.
