Interior Design BA (Hons)

Kingston UniversityKingston School of Art, Knights Park

Course overview

Redesign your world from the inside out Create environments and interactions that meet the needs and enrich the experience of modern life. All we teach is based on an in-depth understanding of people, materials, space, light and ecology. Using this as a foundation, you'll investigate the existing, interrogate problems and playfully speculate solutions.

You'll also be able to tell stories, create desires and bring designs to an innovative material and spatial resolution. Our dedicated studios and world-class workshops will allow you to combine traditional craft techniques with progressive new technologies. You'll sketch, collage, make models and fabricate full size prototypes.

With the aid of computers, you'll draw, model, print, cut, mill and prototype. We'll encourage you to embrace circular thinking. Waste will become a resource and everything will have a second life.

You'll master how to reuse buildings and harvest materials for new uses. You'll recreate the world from the inside out. Architecture and interior design at Kingston School of Art Our architecture and interior design students are shaping their futures.

Hear how you could take steps towards an influential, creative career at Kingston School of Art. Students are encouraged to experiment and stretch the boundaries of what they think they know in order to generate outcomes that they did not know existed. Alan Phillips, Former External Examiner
