Course overview
Our Interior Design (including foundation year) BA (Hons) involves an exciting range of projects in
the cultural, social and commercial fields that will prepare you for a successful career in interior
design.
The foundation year will prepare you for academic study by equipping you with skills such as
essay writing, reading, research and critical analysis. You’ll also be introduced to working in
studios and workshops, while completing intensive short-term projects. These will be followed by
interpretive and longer projects, which aim to give you a sense of direction and a personal
perspective on interior design, as well as on the broader art and design field.
You’ll share your foundation year with students from our other foundation year courses, allowing
you to gain new perspectives on and ideas for your own work. There will be opportunities to view
work from other students and present your own finished and work-in-progress projects. This year
will be excellent preparation for the end-of-year exhibition, where you’ll present your project to your
peers, tutors and the general public.
On completion of the foundation year you’ll begin more focused study of interior design, sharing
the classroom with students who have started on the traditional three-year course. You’ll study the
same course content and have the same choice of modules as those students. You can learn
more about the subsequent three years of study by visiting the Interior Design BA (Hons) course
page.
If towards the end of your foundation year you decide that you’d like to specialise in a different
subject area there will be flexibility to do so.

Our Interior Design (including foundation year) BA (Hons) is the perfect choice if you want to

This four-year course comes with a built-in foundation year that is both preparatory and diagnostic,
meaning we’ll help you discover your strengths, find areas of improvement and prepare you for the
subsequent three years of study.

What is a degree with a foundation year at the School of Art,

Architecture and Design?
This is a four-year degree course with a built-in foundation year (Year 0). A foundation year in our
School of Art, Architecture and Design is the starting point for many of our art, architecture and
design students and acts as an introduction to the wide range of creative practices explored within
the University. You may join us with a clear idea of the subject you intend to study or you may use
it as an opportunity to explore a number of different directions or experiment with your creativity. A
foundation year degree is also a great choice if you don't meet the necessary entry requirements
for the standard undergraduate degree. You'll graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the
same title and award as those who studied the three-year course.

Course overview
Interior designing is an exhilarating practice responding to the rapid pace of the interiors industry. It
involves an exciting range of projects embracing commercial, social and temporary projects such
as workspaces, luxury, hotels, retail, museums, exhibitions, and health and educational spaces.
This Interior Design BA will introduce you to the latest research as well as industry professionals
who will bring their knowledge and experience to the course.
Your first year – through an active and holistic learning and teaching programme – is designed to
develop your thinking, key skills and understanding of the industry and related practice, allowing
you to produce a portfolio and discover your career aspirations through explorative approaches.
You’ll explore sketching, drawing, sketch-modelling and the production of scaled accurate models
through workshop practice and orthographic techniques, with digital software also used to
strengthen your ideas and skills. This will guide you into your second year where we ask you to
choose a studio in which to cultivate your design philosophy, sector specialisms and professional
skills. The course also offers an opportunity to work within the industry and gain real life work
experience with an interior design company, which is assessed as part of your degree. We then
build on this in the third year and advance your individuality and expertise through both studio
specialisms and a mentoring scheme leading you towards successful employment.
Our studios are run by practitioners and experts in their field who develop a series of year-long
projects covering contemporary and relevant design issues and topics. We work with well-known
businesses, associations, and museums and galleries running live projects. This gives you the
opportunity to discuss and exhibit your projects, which in turn helps you to develop a range of
professional presentational skills.
The course takes place in the heart of London's creative district, which gives you access to an
abundance of live projects and industry mentors. You’ll be surrounded by the best interior
practices in London from Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, the West End and Mayfair.
We also promote an entrepreneurial spirit, which leads to students participating in national and
international competitions and taking advantage of volunteering opportunities.

You will have the opportunity to explore and develop ideas for historic and modern contexts,
acquiring knowledge of graphic skills and composition, fabrication techniques, manufacturing
processes, mark-making, material exploration and practice for the intimate and private, or public
scales of interior decoration. As a developing designer you will use this knowledge to develop
sensory and aesthetically sophisticated decorative environments that communicate emotionally,
culturally, socially and physically with you audience.
Throughout the course, you will be asked to consider and position your skills and interests in
relation to the industry to develop a portfolio that expresses your individual practice. The course
operates within a programme of related interior design undergraduate awards, bringing together
best practice from related fields.
This is a top-up version of our Interior Design and Decoration BA (Hons) degree. A top-up degree
is the final year (Level 6) of an undergraduate degree course and is for those who have a
foundation degree, Higher National Diploma or equivalent qualification, or those wishing to study

The course enables you to embrace material exploration for decorative interior environments. It will
draw upon the wide range of contexts within the interiors industry, covering domestic, retail,
exhibition, hotel, leisure and public spaces.
The design projects featured on this course investigate private, community, commercial and
sustainable interior environments. You will consider the spatial and material relationships within
surfaces, furniture, artefacts and textiles. You will develop both graphic and applied decorative
making skills to enable the testing, sampling and representation of your ideas.
Using our workshop facilities and expertise, you will work with different materials (hard and soft)
and mark-making approaches to experiment and collaborate with other students and experts
across a range of related disciplines (including furniture, upholstery, textiles and metals) utilising a
breadth of material techniques with traditional and digital workshop processes.

The foundation year will help you make sure that you choose the right specialism and prepare you
for study at undergraduate level. It will help you to build a portfolio of work, as well as develop
knowledge and skills related to a range of specialist undergraduate degree programmes in our
School of Art, Architecture and Design.
You’ll share the foundation year with others studying a degree with a foundation year in the
School. The shared curriculum will introduce you to techniques used by architects, artists and
interior designers through a variety of intensive studio projects – from 2D and 3D composition
drawing to workshop techniques.
After the foundation year you’ll join students on our Interior Design and Decoration BA (Hons) and
you’ll study the same content and have the same choice of modules as them. On graduation you’ll
also gain the same award and title.
If practising different areas of art and design sparks your interest in a specialism that is not interior
design and decoration, there will be flexibility to allow you to change your specialism.

Our Interior Design and Decoration (including foundation year) BA (Hons) degree course includes
an intensive preparatory year that provides an alternative route into an undergraduate degree.
This design and decoration course is the ideal choice if you want to explore your potential and
work towards establishing an individual direction. It is also a gateway into an undergraduate
degree if you don’t meet the necessary requirements for the standard three-year course.

Architecture and Design?
This is a four-year degree course with a built-in foundation year (Year 0). A foundation year in our
School of Art, Architecture and Design is the starting point for many of our art, architecture and
design students and acts as an introduction to the wide range of creative practices explored within
the University. You may join us with a clear idea of the subject you intend to study or you may use
it as an opportunity to explore a number of different directions or experiment with your creativity. A
foundation year degree is also a great choice if you don't meet the necessary entry requirements
for the standard undergraduate degree. You'll graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the
same title and award as those who studied the three-year course.

Course overview
The Interior Design and Decoration BA course enables you to embrace material exploration for
decorative interior environments. It draws upon the wide range of contexts within the interiors
industry, covering domestic settings, retail, exhibition, hotel, leisure and public spaces.
Through the design projects of Year 1 and the studios of Years 2 and 3 you will investigate private,
community, commercial and sustainable interior environments, you will consider the spatial and
material relationships within a building envelope of surface, furniture, artefacts and textiles. You
will develop both graphic and applied decorative making skills to enable the testing, sampling and
representation of your ideas.
You will work with different materials (hard and soft) and mark-making approaches to experiment
and collaborate with students and experts across a range of related disciplines, including furniture,
upholstery, textiles and metals. You'll utilise a breadth of material techniques with traditional and
digital workshop processes.
Historically, decorative designers have expressed through their work the latest advances in fashion
and technology, in step with vogues and trends that colour our material culture and vernacular
history.
Important archives are kept with institutions such as the V&A, Geffrye Museum and Royal Institute
of British Architects (RIBA) which allow us to research sources, methods and approaches for
contemporary practice.
You will have the opportunity to explore and develop ideas for historic and modern contexts,
acquiring knowledge of graphic skills and composition, fabrication techniques, manufacturing
processes, mark-making, material exploration and practice for the intimate and private, or public
scales of interior decoration. As developing designers you will use this knowledge to develop
sensory and aesthetically sophisticated decorative environments that communicate emotionally,
culturally, socially and physically with your audience.
Throughout the course you will be asked to consider and position yourself, your skills and your
interests in relation to the industry to develop a portfolio that expresses your individual practice.
The course operates within a programme of related interior design undergraduate awards,
bringing together best practice from related fields. Three cognate BA awards (Interior Architecture
and Design, Interior Design, Interior Design and Decoration) enables students to explore the
fundamental aspects of design for interiors, through the lens of the built environment, the client,
and/or decoration and detailing.
The design projects featured on this interior design course investigate private, community,
commercial and sustainable interior environments. You will consider the spatial and material
relationships within surfaces, furniture, artefacts and textiles. You will develop both graphic and
applied decorative making skills to enable the testing, sampling and representation of your ideas
as a specialist interior designer.
Using the workshop facilities and expertise, you will work with different materials (hard and soft)
and mark-making approaches to experiment and collaborate with other students and experts
across a range of related disciplines (including furniture, upholstery, textiles and metals) utilising a
breadth of material techniques with traditional and digital workshop processes.

Entry requirements
In addition to the University’s standard entry requirements, you should have:
a minimum of grades BBC in three A levels one of which comes from a relevant subject
area such in the arts, humanities or social sciences (or a minimum of 112 UCAS points from

undergraduate degree, you may still be able to gain entry by completing our Interior Design and
Decoration (including foundation year) BA (Hons) or Art and Design (including foundation year) BA
(Hons).
Your portfolio should be selective but contain enough work to show the range of your interests,
skills and talents. We are interested in seeing how you develop a project within your sketchbooks
from beginning to end, not just your finished work as we will be looking for those who enjoy
exploration and experimentation and are able to show us design thinking through a range of media
and materials.
Please bring any models, 1:1 sculptures, products or furniture. If these items are too large please
bring photographs to the interview. We always want to see traditional drawing whether
observational, life or concept generating, so please include this, even if you already have good
computer-aided design (CAD) skills.
Finally, be ready to talk about your work and how you see your future as an interior designer. The
interview day includes a general introduction to the course and the interiors areas of interests and
expertise, a tour of Calcutta House where you you'll have the chance to meet a variety of staff and
talk to students.
Assessment
A number of assessment methods will be used throughout the course. These range from
formative, summative, diagnostic, peer and self-assessment methods to studio based work,
workshops, and CAD and digital projects and exercises.
