MA Interior Architecture and Design
Course overview
This MA Interior Architecture and Design at the University of Portsmouth focuses on the interior and developing an understanding of the built environment through sensory and affective engagement. You’ll study in an interdisciplinary environment with our other architecture courses as you learn to understand your strengths and disciplinary skills in the wider design environment. You will be encouraged to engage with interior spaces through creative practice, experimentation, material engagement, and tangible and intangible matters, and learn to use advanced technologies and tools.
The MA Interior Architecture and Design in the University of Portsmouth also supports you to engage with analogue methods of working that focus on the body, human and non-human, at the centre of your practice. You're encouraged to practice using both digital and analogue methods of working. You’ll learn to view your work in different social and cultural contexts and have opportunities to work with others, including communities, and explore your responsibilities relating to climate change and action, ready to graduate with all the tools you need for a career in interior architecture and interior design and associated creative industries.
