BA Interior Design with Diploma in Creative Computing
About this course
Interior design is the professional discipline concerned with shaping the built environment from the inside, creating spaces that are functional, safe, beautiful, and responsive to the needs of the people who inhabit them. It draws on spatial thinking, material knowledge, lighting, ergonomics, and an understanding of how people move through and experience spaces. Interior designers work across residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and cultural contexts, and the discipline increasingly intersects with sustainable design, accessibility, and digital visualisation tools. At Norwich University of the Arts, this five-year full-time programme pairs a thorough education in interior design with a Diploma in Creative Computing, adding a technical computing strand that deepens your digital capabilities and broadens your professional skill set significantly. In the interior design component, you will develop spatial design skills, work with materials and finishes, produce technical drawings and presentations, and undertake project-based work that reflects real design challenges. The creative computing diploma introduces programming, interactive systems, and digital making, skills that have become increasingly valuable in design practice for visualisation, parametric design, and spatial computing. The five-year structure gives you the time to develop genuine depth in both strands and to integrate them into a distinctive professional identity. Graduates from this programme are well positioned for careers as interior designers, spatial designers, exhibition designers, set designers, and design consultants. The additional computing skills from the diploma open further opportunities in digital design, interactive environments, and the technology-facing aspects of the design industry. Further study at postgraduate level is an option for those who wish to specialise, develop a research practice, or move into teaching within the creative arts and design sector.
