Master of Interior Architecture â MIA
Become a specialist in spatial experience design by studying a Master of Interior Architecture at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Reimagine the places we live, work, play, eat, shop, exercise, and learn.
Through your studies you will make a difference to people's wellbeing and create a better future through the innovative design of interior spaces.
You'll examine how design can affect the way people experience, interact with, and move through an interior. Performance, identity, mood, and the physical comfort of a structure will influence your creative solutions to improve and transform the built environment.
Your studies will take you on a journey of social and cultural, ecological and technological, historical and contemporary contexts. At every turn, you will be provided with opportunities to expand your knowledge of design, considering the relationships between materials, people and space.
Learn through a combination of taught courses and a self-directed, design-led research thesis or portfolio.

Through postgraduate study you will build valuable relationships and networks with peers, university staff, and future colleagues. Make the most of opportunities to attend events, seminars, workshops, and social functions.
