About Interior Design, MA - at De Montfort University

Our Interior Design course aims to support you to experiment boldly, meaningfully challenge conventions, and consider innovative approaches to the future of interior design. It challenges the integration of spaces, whether that be the old with the new, the digital with the physical, engineered with nature or the integration of communities with their surroundings.

You will develop, research and practice design thinking to an advanced level, integrating strong research methods into the creative process. You will be encouraged to think sustainably, as well as develop your understanding of professional and commercial practice by considering the viability of your design proposals. Our stunning and sophisticated facilities offer an inspiring place for you to foster and refine your talents, and where you will collaborate across disciplines within our close-knit design community.

The course culminates in the detailed development of a major design brief or work-based project in industry. This will enable you to hone your skills as an independent researcher or gain first-hand experience of professional skills. Your individual interests are at the heart of the course and we will support you to develop your skills and expertise towards your career aspirations.

Key features

  • Have the freedom to tailor your studies with modules such as Technology for Design, where you will discover emerging digital technologies and use them to envision daring and innovative design strategies of the future.
  • An optional year-long work placement will enable you to gain valuable experience to further enhance your practical and professional skills.
  • Become part of a community working together to co-design new ways of thinking to redefine the future of creative practice.
  • Our teaching team keeps the curriculum current, with expertise across the interior design spectrum and an ethos of supporting you to take risks with your work.
  • Our award-winning Vijay Patel building has been designed to provide the space and facilities where all of our art and design students can develop their ideas and flourish. IT facilities include PC, CAD, graphics, and multimedia labs, with software for drawing, multimedia, painting/DTP, 3D modelling, animation and video.
  • Study in a lively multidisciplinary environment alongside working and upcoming designers, where you will benefit from both collaborative and individual learning experiences.
  • You will graduate with the skills to forge a successful professional career in your chosen specialism, or to continue on the academic pathway to PhD level study.
