Interior Design BA (Hons)

This course aims to get you thinking about the functional and aesthetic potential of interior environments. By encouraging you to think about what’s possible and engaging with design processes, you’ll discover how you can transform space, questioning the future of retail, leisure and work spaces and all interior environments outside the home. Interior Design transforms ideas into experiences. We'll give you the opportunity to be able to create and innovate entirely new experiences and relationships between people and the places they spend time in. The emphasis is on creativity, as we explore current design thinking using this to push the boundaries to come up with new ways of looking at interactions and transforming our environments. On this course, you can: * Focus on the practical side of things, with the aim of helping you to prepare for a career in interior design. So we’ll give you the chance to get involved in a range of projects across several typologies, building your own unique portfolio as you move through the course. * Use skills and experience gained over your time on the course to give you the best chance to succeed in your future career as a designer. We’ll aim to give you a thorough grounding in all the technical demands of detailing and specification alongside the creative aspects. * Take opportunities to get out into the ‘real world’ by engaging in our placement year, where you can work in a professional design practice. It will give you the chance to gain hands-on experience, build up your professional portfolio and develop real-world skills. You’ll have the chance to gain a real insight into the industry! Interior Design BA(Hons) is going to be challenging, but it will be engaging and inspiring too! I really enjoyed my time on the Interior Design course at Huddersfield. It’s clear the tutors are very passionate about their jobs which drives you to achieve your best. The highlight for me was placement year, which, alongside my time on the course, has set me up for what I hope to be a long and successful career in Interior Design. ~ Hannah Rand, Interior Design BA(Hons) 2019 graduate.
