This MA Interior Architecture and Design programme at the University of Lincoln is for graduates of art, architecture, and design who wish to specialise in creative approaches to interior design. The design studio functions as a simulated interior architecture and design consultancy, facilitating project-based learning. Students operate as design associates, adhering to established firm ethos, knowledge base, culture, documentation standards, and design approaches, all under the guidance of a management team.
The programme offers two pathways: Treatise by Practice and Treatise by Research, both structured to facilitate progression to employment in interior consultancies or advanced doctoral studies.
Learning and assessment within the MA Interior Architecture and Design programme are centred around project-based learning in a studio environment that simulates professional practice. Students develop their design skills and critical thinking through a series of projects, culminating in a final major project. Assessment methods include project submissions, presentations, and written assignments.
