BA Interior Architecture and Design

University of Hertfordshire

Course overview

The BA Interior Architecture and Design at the University of Hertfordshire takes a progressive and holistic teaching approach that focuses on working with existing buildings and spaces to explore various habitation possibilities. The course emphasises that the design process is non-linear and combines research and design at multiple stages. Students gain skills in both the creative and technical aspects of interior architecture, with spatial design, materials, and sustainable practice featured.

Learning involves practical studio work, project-based assignments, and collaborative tasks that enhance problem-solving and innovation. The methods used in evaluation are coursework, presentations, portfolios, and final design projects. Graduates qualify for associate membership to professional bodies like the British Interior Design Association. The course also fosters engagement with modern issues in design and promotes professional readiness through real-world projects and placements.
