VCUarts Qatar’s BFA Interior Design pathway is a studio-based programme where students engage in interdisciplinary, critical, hands-on design approaches that explore the built environment.

Using space, form, materials, colour and light, students in this programme imagine and re-imagine human-centric living and working spaces.

The curriculum is fully accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), in the US and promotes diversity, research, innovation, sustainability and collaboration.

Why Study Interior Design?

Interior designers are essential to the architecture, engineering and construction sectors to design user-centric spaces. Their solid understanding of construction and building systems helps them create practical and appealing spaces where people can live, work and play.

Students on this pathway study the theoretical and practical elements of interior design alongside environmental and behavioural sciences, including sustainability, communication, codes and regulations, as well as business practices.

Upon graduation, most of our students enter the industry or pursue graduate programmes in related fields.

Our students have been hired by Qatar Museums, Qatar Airways, Arab Engineering Bureau, Blueprint, Doha Film Institute, Film House, Katara Hospitality, Qatari Diar, ASHGHAL, QF, FROMM, Msheireb Properties, Doha Design District and HOK (one of the largest architecture firms in the US), among others.
