USW’s BA (Hons) Interior Design course resides within the Faculty of Business and Creative Industries and is based in the creative centre of Cardiff.  This degree will ignite your passion for the subject and prepare you for a career in design.  Our professional network continuously expands, reflecting our relationship with various industry partners who invest in a course that nurtures designers of the future.

 

We actively engage with the architecture and design industry across all aspects of the course, and their input informs our teaching.  This 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.
