From conceptualisation through 2D visualisation and 3D modelling to animation, our course will teach you the skills you need to pursue a successful career in industry. The course encourages conceptual thinking beyond the mundane but always marries designs to reality. This ensures students find employment across the many sectors of interior architecture, whether in retail, hospitality and leisure, workplace design, civic and culture or exhibition design. * Creativity: You will be challenged to develop innovative and experimental solutions, transforming spaces through material understanding and user insights. * Making: An emphasis on making, both physical and virtual, underpins the course and ensures that graduates are both digitally fluent and materially sensitive. * Employability: You will be supported to develop the skills, knowledge and resilience required to enter industry. You will build a sophisticated design portfolio over the course of your studies, giving you access to opportunities for employment or further study.


Key Course Benefits

* Studio Culture: Our studio-based course will allow you to explore, create, collaborate and develop the skills required to design innovative spaces, supported by peers and guided by experienced practitioners.* Analogue & Digital: We deliberately strike a balance between traditional hand-processes and emerging technologies. You will participate in workshops for drawing, and model making, along with CAD, 3D computer modelling and animation. Traditional workshops sit alongside facilities for laser cutting, CNC milling and 3D printing*.* International Network: Our students go on to find employment in a variety of fields and professions including Interior Architecture, Lighting Design, Exhibition Design, Concept Design, Theatre and Stage Design and Project Management. Gain an international perspective with our international partner institutions, who provide opportunities for shared learning and the potential for travel and study abroad. Our visiting speaker programme makes use of our extensive alumni and industry network*.* Sustainability: In a finite world you will be in a unique position to help lead the world with sustainable solutions to architectural problems. Adaptive reuse of buildings as opposed to demolition and rebuild, will become a must and Interior Architects and Designers will be highly sought after.* Professional Accreditation and Awards: The Course has been accredited by The Society of British & International Interior Designers (SBID) as a Centre of Excellence*. Our students have won awards at national exhibitions and events including Free Range and New Designers.*For further information please check the course page on the Coventry University website
