Interior Design

Overview

Good design can positively affect our everyday lives and can be of vital importance in creating a better, more sustainable future for all. This degree teaches you the importance of location, context and client – preparing you for a fast-paced, professional career in interior design.

Examining both public and private spaces, you’ll learn how new designs are created in response to the purpose of a space and the needs of its user – going beyond aesthetics to consider history, location, functionality and environmental impact. You'll develop your own approach and learn to create spaces that improve the lives of those who use them.

First, you'll experiment with adapting existing spaces. Then create modern, sustainable spaces from scratch – translating ideas into sketches, CAD drawings and 3D models, and communicating them via presentations, pitches and portfolios. You'll learn how to read briefs, cost and manage projects, and inspire clients by developing a strong narrative – ensuring they're on board with your concept and feel comfortable paying.

Your hard work culminates in a final design show, where you'll showcase your work to an audience including press and industry professionals – view this year's portfolios.

Year 1

Subject Core

Interior Design
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.
Learning Perspectives	This module will encourage you to become a collaborative, critical and reflective learner. Using the distinct lens of your course, you'll examine core questions about how and why we learn the way we do and develop skills essential for university study.

Common Modules

In Year 1, you can choose a mix of London Perspectives, Global Perspectives and language modules – you'll need to take two in total from the lists below.
London Perspectives	This interdisciplinary module will introduce you to the relationships between a range of subject areas, including your own academic specialism, and London. Subject areas addressed may include art, business, fashion, film, media, advertising, history, marketing, music, politics, psychology, religion, theatre and literature. You'll encounter specific contributions that London and Londoners have made to each of these fields, as well as consider how practitioners in each area have shaped the physical and intellectual landscape of the city that we know today – enabling you to explore the connections between your academic studies at Regent’s and the wider professional, cultural and civic contexts to which those studies contribute.
Global Perspectives (Spring Term)	Complete a number of practical group tasks inspired by contemporary intercultural, political and social issues – and by the concept of global citizenship. You'll work with peers to propose and present solutions to dilemmas and global issues. In the first half of the term, groups will be divided based on disciplines and courses of study; in the second half, you'll re-group with students from other disciplines. Throughout the collaboration, you'll be asked to reflect individually and evaluate the benefits and limitations of specific disciplinary approaches versus the potential for creative solutions when working with students across disciplines.
