BA (Hons) Interior Architecture in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne United Kingdom | Northumbria University

Our Interior Architecture program is a design-focused, studio-based course affiliated with Interior Educators, the national learned society for the discipline. You'll gain practical skills and specialized knowledge from our renowned faculty to become an interior architecture professional. Through live and guided design projects, you'll create innovative, thoughtful design solutions for existing structures, beginning with thorough site analysis before developing your interventions. The curriculum covers design principles, communication techniques, historical and theoretical studies, construction technology, environmental considerations, and project management. Field trips to project sites and a European study tour will broaden your perspective. After your second year, you may opt for a study abroad year or continue with the standard program - both options enhance your expertise and global awareness. You'll build a diverse portfolio through assigned and independent projects, showcasing your design capabilities and professional potential. Your final work will be exhibited in Newcastle and at Interior Educators' London showcase to connect with industry leaders.
