BA (Hons) Interior Design

The BA (Hons) Interior Design programme at the Academy of Design, awarded by Northumbria University, is a 3-year internationally recognised degree designed to develop innovative designers capable of shaping meaningful, functional, and future-focused spaces.

​

Combining spatial design, conceptual thinking, material exploration, sustainability, technical knowledge, and human-centred design, the programme encourages students to rethink the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit. Through studio-based learning, live projects, workshops, and industry engagement, students gain the creative and practical skills needed for careers across residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, exhibition, and experiential interior design industries both locally and internationally.
