This is a practical and creative course with some theory and research and is delivered through informal talks and visits to local places of design interest. You will gain experience of undertaking an interior design scheme and also an understanding of its application in the domestic, residential and commercial sectors. From simple plan drawings you will gain an understanding of scale before applying colour, furniture and furnishings.

During the course you will learn how to develop your creativity regarding interior design, give special attention to light, colour, form, texture and how these key elements can define a space and look at decorative schemes with the use of wallpaper, upholstery, window treatments and accessories. By the end of the course you will have created a finished, or almost finished, interior design project, built a portfolio of new work, developed an awareness of the vast range of information relevant to interior designers and had plenty of fun.

The course is designed to give you a real experience of university life, make new friends who share similar interests and develop your portfolio so that ultimately, you can make an informed decision about your future.

Please note that you must book the accommodation element along with the course to use this for your DofE Gold Residential. You will need to provide your own meals.
