The MA in Interior Architecture and Design delves into the growing interconnection between 'interior design' and 'interior architecture' in understanding, creating, and realizing cutting-edge interior environments. Traditionally, a distinction has existed between 'Interior design' and 'Interior architecture,' yet these disciplines are increasingly merging, presenting a chance to blend their most impactful qualities—the imaginative, methodological, and conceptual approaches of designers with the technical expertise, understanding, and practical focus of architecture.
This program seeks to integrate core elements from both fields, equipping graduates to join and shape a rapidly changing design landscape. Recognized as a pioneer in STEM education and research, Heriot-Watt University emphasizes the interplay of science and design in advancing interior architecture and design. Learning occurs through diverse studio projects, specialized subjects, and interdisciplinary theoretical and contextual courses.
The program primarily draws students with backgrounds in art, design, and architecture, encouraging each to cultivate individual projects and ideas that question and redefine conventional standards or practices.

Qualification Requirements
For MSc entry, a good relevant Honours degree (first or second class) or equivalent overseas qualifications will be considered. Given the clear practical element of the programmes, we will also consider non-graduate candidates holding less than a good Honours degree, or its equivalent, but with compensating qualifications or experience may be admitted to the Postgraduate Diploma programme. Transfer to the MSc will be possible later on if exams and course work are at MSc level. Where English was not the medium of instruction at secondary school, applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency equivalent to IELTS 6.5 (with all elements passed at 6.0 or above). Applicants who have completed secondary and tertiary education will need to provide documentary evidence. A minimum of one year full-time study in English will be required. TOEFL ibt overall score of 90 including reading 20, listening 19, speaking 21 and writing 23.
