Course summary

Overview

The Interior Design programme offers a creative blend of design skills to equip students for industry. It applies conceptual methodology to imaginatively adapt or re-use interiors. Key study themes include materials, hand and digital making skills, drawing, furniture and detailing, sustainability, human centred design, technology and digital communication.

Express yourself with the latest tech. We’ll show you how innovative new technology can help you bring your interior design ideas to life. And we’ll give you the opportunity to work on real projects for big businesses. Recently our students have worked on live projects to develop interiors for Adidas, Herman Miller and Accor hotel group.

This exposure to live clients and stakeholders is something we’re proud of. We encourage you to use your time with us as an opportunity to work with more and more external partners, organisations and businesses. This helps you challenge yourself and develop connections and skills that will be invaluable after graduation – whilst also building a sense of identity as a designer. Many of our graduates go on to work in creative roles in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond, for companies like AECOM, Area, and IKEA amongst others. You could follow in their footsteps. 82% of our graduates reported in the National Student Survey that they were satisfied overall with their Interior Design degree.

The course is taught in our Scottish Borders Campus. Find out more about what this highly creative and practical course has to offer on our School pages.
