They will learn and engage in design research to develop their ideas and create interior spaces that are functional and purposeful. Students will be taught how to combine design aesthetics with technical knowledge, and develop techniques to best communicate their ideas. Interior Design students are also exposed to specialisation workshops and studio projects.
