Subject Core

Interior Design, BA (Hons)
Design: Spatial Investigations	This module provides you with an opportunity to explore the fundamental elements of the interior design process through generating ideas to detailed resolution. In a primary design project, you will investigate notions of private space, while exploring the various stages in which designers engage with real-world problems. You will explore how to develop and test variations of your designs with an emphasis on creativity, ideas generation and the acquisition of drawing and making skills appropriate to interior design, acknowledging that designing is an iterative process. As you progress through the module, you will be introduced to skills that will help you make appropriate and effective design decisions, developing your creative response to a given problem. The focus of this module will be on demonstrating a creative and critical engagement with the overlapping phases of the design process.
Reading Spaces	In this module, you will explore fundamental interior design principles and how these underpin the creation of meaningful and appropriate three-dimensional environments. You will learn to reflect on your work through creative research and critical thinking to communicate your ideas. You look closely and imaginatively at historic and contemporary spaces, in order to develop your rich design vocabulary. This module will enable you to situate your own work within a contemporary context, by recognising perspectives and experiences of spaces. This will be done by developing methods of looking, writing and drawing, building your skills of observation, investigation and communication. The module provides intensive introductory techniques in drawing, representation and presentation, helping you to communicate your interior design proposals. You will become familiar with design terminology and learn to effectively communicate with multiple audiences by delivering accurate and evocative representations of spaces.
Design: Inhabitation	This module introduces you to a dynamic process of investigation and analysis in design thinking and practical problem solving. You will build on the skills and techniques you have developed previously, designing a more complex spatial proposal that responds to a site, addressing notions of public and community and investigating materiality and construction. The module introduces you to the knowledge and skills required to understand how the interior spaces we design affect and enhance the experience of inhabitation. You will be encouraged to develop a design process through multiple iterations, working from initial site analysis and concept and programme development, towards the complexity and detail required to inform a proposal. You will then develop part of your design to a more detailed level, considering the materials’ qualities and construction, as well as identity, atmosphere and inhabitation.
Representing Spaces	This module introduces you to a broad range of communication skills techniques essential for interior designers. You will develop creative research and critical analytical skills, to reflect on your work, communicating your ideas visually and verbally through experimentation and exploration. The module will introduce you to how wider debates around how everyday life, culture and society can translate into built space, as you practice interpretative skills through writing, drawing and digital imaging. You will develop a deep understanding of the poetic and practical qualities of spaces and an awareness of modes of interpretation of built space – particularly in perception and experience. The module will provide you with drawing and presentation skills to support and reinforce effective communication of your interior design work. By practicing representation techniques, you will discover how to effectively represent your design proposals to multiple audiences accurately and evocatively.
Exploring Industry and Entrepreneurship	The world of work is changing fast; in some sectors, AR, AI and automation have already mechanised the work environment. New and different jobs are rapidly being created, generating fresh industry-related and entrepreneurial opportunities. Global crises have accelerated trends, causing many sectors to rethink their approaches to work. This module provides you with an introduction to the changes being experienced, and the scope of real-world professional activities in relation to your course. Teaching will be delivered by your course team, led by subject experts, and tailored to reflect industry and entrepreneurship in your discipline. You will develop an understanding of how changing local and global trends impact the current and future worlds of work. The focus will be on exploring your industry or sector and its future, with a view to informing your own potential career or entrepreneurial journey. In this module, you will be supported by the experts in the Careers, Enterprise and Industry services and the university careers platform, Handshake.

Major Project l	The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You will study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project. The Major Project is a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You will have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to work you’re completing on your other final year modules. In Major Project I, you will start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project.
Major Project II	Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you will realise and complete your work in Major Project ll. The Major Project is your opportunity to apply your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning around industry and/or entrepreneurship to a topic of your choice. Through the Major Project, you can realise your ambitions as you prepare to graduate with work that illustrates your aspirations. You will learn through individual or group supervisions, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to the work you’re completing on your other final year modules. If you are working on an entrepreneurial project for your Major Project, you may be able to join the Founders Programme, which supports students and graduates interested in starting their own business with tailored guidance, coaching, mentoring, and access to experiential bootcamps and live events.
