Hide-About the course
This two year diploma can be taken as a full-time or evening access course. Students may apply for the course who have indicated a desire to enter the profession but who may not have had exposure or enjoy a related background. Students are immediately engaged with the principles of design; they pursue various communication techniques allowing them to present their work in a clear and confident manner. Created to meet current best practice in industry, modules in branding and visual merchandising now complement those of building regulations, health and safety, and furniture and lighting design.
Graduates will have the skills to produce creative and technically proficient interior designs, which may be explained digitally, by hand or in 3 dimensions. Those who complete the two year diploma are prepared to continue on in their studies or to seek employment in the interior design industry with a view to setting up their own business.
