This is a top-up version of our Interior Design 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 final year of their degree in London.
This degree will introduce you to the latest research as well as industry professionals who will bring their knowledge and experience to the course. Interior design is an exhilarating creative practice responding to the rapid pace of the interiors industry.
You'll work on an exciting range of projects embracing commercial, social and temporary projects such as workspaces, hotels, retail, museums, exhibitions, and health and educational spaces.
Our studios are run by practitioners and experts in their field. We work with well-known businesses, associations, 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 presentation skills.
The course is based 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 and the West End to Mayfair.
You will have the opportunity to explore a topic of your choice in depth for your dissertation. Our dissertation students all belong to a themed dissertation studio that offers a supportive group context for planning and writing your dissertation, with specific academic tutoring about how to manage the project.
A variety of assessment methods are used throughout the course. These range from formative, summative, diagnostic, peer and self-assessment methods, through to studio based work, workshops, and Computer-aided design (CAD) and digital projects and exercises. Feedback is given throughout the course.
In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have one of the following:
Suitable applicants living in the UK will be invited to a portfolio interview or asked to submit an e-portfolio. Applicants living outside the UK will be required to submit a portfolio of work via email.
All applicants must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. Applicants who require a Tier 4 student visa may need to provide a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. For more information about English qualifications please see our English language requirements.
Your portfolio should be selective, but have enough work to show a range of your interests and talents. We are interested in seeing how you develop a project from beginning to end, not only finished work.
If you cannot bring certain pieces of your work to your portfolio interview, please take photographs and include them.
If you are coming in person to your interview we strongly suggest bringing a physical portfolio of work.
