Entry Requirements
Please see the general entry requirements page.
Additional requirements for this course are normally one of the following:
In addition to the above, strong emphasis will be placed on the quality of your portfolio and a satisfactory interview. Other suitable experience or qualifications will be considered.
These are professionally orientated degree courses that prepare you for design practice in the multi-disciplinary area of spatial design. They adopt a cluster approach to this area of study through two courses - Interior Design and Exhibition and Retail Design.
Each course shares a common Year 1 and Year 2 approach allowing you to move towards an individual focus, or specialisation, in the final stages of the course.
Practical design project work is normally based on 'vocational topics' and the close integration of 'issues' which help develop skills, knowledge, understanding, approach and individual design philosophy. Some of the 'issues' addressed include such things as international culture and context, regeneration/renewal, environment/sustainability, visual styling and branding, new technologies and communication.
The courses provide optimum access to learning experiences, employment opportunities and the development of individual expertise and personal aspirations.

Placement and employment destinations cover a wide and varied range of opportunities both in the UK and abroad including such places as USA, Canada, Singapore, Australia, South Africa, Finland and Japan.
The courses provide a strong vocational preparation to enable you to work within the national and international marketplace. This is actively supported by design based visits (both UK and overseas), an established (optional) sandwich placement year (in the UK and/or overseas), involvement in live/sponsored projects and competitions, and an excellent graduate employment record.
High honours graduates are eligible for admission to a range of Masters degree courses in Interior Design, Interior Architecture and Spatial Design, including the MA Spatial Design programme at the University of Huddersfield which pursues the concept of 'The Meaning of Space'.
You are provided with dedicated studio workspace, supporting resources and equipment throughout the course. All year groups work alongside each other and benefit from a strong studio culture ethos.
On these courses you may base your final Major Design Project in an overseas location and recent examples have included Spain, New Orleans, New York and Prague.
