Overview

We actively engage with the architecture and design industry across all aspects of the course, and their input informs our teaching. This Interior Design (Hons) degree from University of South Wales creates a fulfilling student experience and produces a highly employable graduate, equipped with the essential discipline-specific skills, as well as the broader transferable skills necessary for industry.

Ethical, social and environmental responsibility are at the heart of this course, with many projects based on the adaptive re-use of existing buildings and spaces with a clear agenda for conservation. Sustainability, well-being and user experience are also focal points on the course.

Your interest in art and design, as well as your creative and strategic thinking, will be combined with the fundamental teaching of Interior Design-specific knowledge to create innovative and considerate outcomes. Covering a comprehensive range of skills, such as research, evaluation, analytical and orthographic drawing, model making and digital software processes, you will develop confidence in your own individual response and creation. These projects will often be live briefs, in collaboration with industry, the community or with other USW courses.

Career

The Interior Design course teaches discipline-specific content that has a clear focus on preparing you for a career in Interior Design. These skills are also applicable to any specialism that relates to the built environment, spatial/3D design, as well as applied design and detail.

There are graduates who have also used their skills and gone on to work in installation, event and retail design. Some work in 3D visualisation or as software technicians. Some have also developed careers in construction and project management, while others have gone into education at school and university level.
