Course summary

Our BA (Hons) Interior Architecture degree course at UCA Canterbury is a hands-on experience from day one, with ongoing exposure to current industry practice and lots of opportunities to develop your network. Everything you do on this course will be driven by your developing understanding of "the building" - its technology, its style, its possibilities. We will focus heavily on the use of actual sites and real industry projects, so you’ll get a visceral sense of having visualised and transformed a space. Our facilities include the high-end technology you’ll need to visualise your ideas in VR and 3D environments, and we work extensively with property owners, councils, and other clients, so you can expect to be pitching ideas and engaging with stakeholders on a regular basis. This technical degree will appeal to you if you enjoy focusing on the details of how spaces work, are interested in sustainability and retrofitting, and want to design sophisticated schemes that represent the values and needs of the people who will use them.
