The programme addresses many topical issues in spatial design there is a blend of design theory and practice, combined with critical thinking within the creative and managerial process. This questions the existing boundaries of interior design – pushing the profession forwards into new and versatile directions.

These modules aim to develop your awareness of the effects of the changing creative industry on design thought, processes, and business – introducing you to new design methodologies as part of the process.
