The MA Interior Design programme is designed to have a strong focus on contemporary interior design practice through the study of residential, retail, hospitality and exhibition design interior environments.

Ethical design is at the forefront of contemporary interior design practice through material selection and innovation, material waste considerations, construction methods, renewable energy sources and overall environmental considerations through a 'cradle to cradle' design approach.

Research, practice, materiality, creative problem solving, teamwork and design innovation, provide a robust framework for design investigation, where technology supports traditional design skills refined through CAD detailing, 3D modelling, 3D rendering, 3D printing and AR/VR applications.

Students are encouraged to challenge design paradigms exploring concepts around luxury and regenerative design solutions. The programme structure ensures that students have the opportunity to develop as responsible designers and global citizens through contemporary interior design practice.

The MA Interior Design programme culminates in either a theory or practice-based dissertation, reflecting a key research topic of current value and relevance in an everchanging post-pandemic era.

Field trips to professional studio practices within London form an essential learning component within the programme in addition to international networking opportunities. Previous visiting international professional designers and mentors include Karim Rashid and Tom Dixon.
