Year 1
Core modules:
- Design Process and Communication
This module introduces and develops your awareness and understanding of 2D and 3D visual language relating to research, analysis, evaluation and synthesis through exploration of the creative process of design. The module comprises three components: visual enquiry, design interpretation and communicative processes. Your knowledge and understanding of these principles will be demonstrated through a portfolio containing visual exploration and development, 2D/3D proposals and design experimentation. 100% Portfolio.
- Design Culture in Context
This module focuses on the examination of current and historical design, cultural socio-economic concerns, styles and artefacts and considers their importance within and influence upon the visual and material culture of society. You will be encouraged to develop academic critical appraisal, analysis, evaluation and reflection upon identified issues which are deemed important and relevant to interior/exhibition/spatial designers. 100% Portfolio.
- Material Innovations
Through the module you will be encouraged to acquire and develop a vocabulary and understanding of fundamental concepts and principles associated with the design of the built environment and the work of an interior/exhibition designer. 40% test paper/60% project work.
- Design Exploration
This module provides you with an opportunity to develop an understanding and explorative approach to the production of spatial design proposals. Design work will enable you to integrate design process, creative experimentation and visual communication techniques while encouraging the development of organisational, creative and CAD competencies. Explorative design proposals will evidence your knowledge, understanding and developing abilities. 100% design proposals.
Year 2
Core modules:
- Design in Context
In this module you will be asked to consider and investigate spatial, visual and cultural contexts through the exploration of design at a variety of scales – to progressively focus in on a design project to reveal the contextual aspects which effect the design and representation of the spatial and built environment, and to consider varying approaches towards design concept manipulation and expression. Collaborative research enquiry will lead to an individually selected design project for an identified interior design topic area in which you will be expected to develop expertise in design evaluation, exploration and digital communication, and demonstrate the development of an integrated and cohesive approach to the design process. 100% portfolio.
- Design and Building Technology
In this module you will develop your expertise in the identification, consideration, selection and specification of materials, products and finishes. Emphasis is placed on the role of design, general arrangement and detailed drawings, appraisal of materials, products and finishes relevant to achieving and effecting well-conceived design proposals. Your knowledge and understanding will be demonstrated through a case study presentation, a closed test paper and the production of contractual drawings. 100% presentation file.
- Design Realisation
"This module will contain a number of projects and competitions from which to choose, and will include a focus towards audience and client expectations and needs, competitiveness, social and ethical considerations and the identification of design criteria. Design work will continue to develop design exploration studies, in both 2D and 3D, but encouragement will be made to understanding the importance of digital presentation and modelling techniques and related issues in the design process.
You will identify an appropriate use for a selected building (or structure) and undertake appropriate research studies to support initial concept proposals, followed by a digital design package of information. Work undertaken in this module will require presentations to be made digitally, verbally and visually to both staff and ‘clients’. 100% portfolio."
- Personal and Professional Development
This module will introduce strategies for personal development and reflection while developing an appreciation and awareness of strategies related to employability and work placement. You will be required to submit a range of elements for this module: professional development journal, self promotional materials (enhanced curriculum vitae) and a well-planned digital design portfolio evidencing competencies. 40% reflective journal /60% CV package.

The placement will be monitored and you will be assessed on completion. (100%).
Final Year
Core modules:
- Professional Practice
The module is specifically designed to support, develop and enhance your final major project through the exploration and analysis of design potential within the wider context of professional interior design practice.
