• To be eligible for consideration for an Ordinary Degree or Higher Certificate programme, students are required to hold a FETAC Level 5 Award.

Hide-About the course
The honour’s degree programme has been designed in response to an increased demand from industry for honor’s degree level employees with specific skills relating to Interior Architecture including spatial planning; design detailing, technologies, problem solving and visualisation techniques and presentation skills.

Students are required to take part in in-depth research, apply knowledge of building technology and regulations, organise and manage project solutions, and communicate their designs using digital design programmes. Graduates of this programme leave with extensive experience in creating, analysing and interpreting project briefs. They will be able to problem solve complex design issues and work independently and in groups to find solutions.

They will leave with advanced skills in space planning; design detailing, materials selection and specification. They will gain insight into the social implications of design and understand at a deeper level how design and community interact in the real world. This programme is validated by the European Council of Interior Architects (ECIA) and the Institute of Designers in Ireland (IDI).
