The Master's program in Interior Design emphasizes hands-on practice and research-driven education, cultivating innovative designers who push boundaries in both society and the field. It examines the purpose behind interior spaces rather than just their creation, operating within a rigorous academic setting. Through diverse themes, methodologies, and tools, the program fosters critical thinking and analytical engagement with core subjects. These are organized into three stages: historical/theoretical foundations (Stage 1), interdisciplinary and creative explorations (Stage 2), and pioneering solutions blending research, practice, and student expertise (Stage 3). Students are guided to define their role within the discipline's evolving landscape, emerging as skilled practitioners capable of influencing its core principles and advancing professional practice.
