Programme Description

Interior Design is a professional discipline. It exists in the overall framework of the building industry with its own area of specialty and considerations primarily for the interior environment. Interior Design takes into consideration basic human needs and aspirations for living through its expressions of style, structure, function and form. It is a highly respected profession that responds to the needs of the building industry and corresponds to the social development, economic growth and prosperity of a country.

While responding to changes in the design environment, interior design also plays a vital role in ensuring the continual preservation of a country’s identity and heritage. Student will begin with a thorough training in the basic principles of building and design, and then move on to explore various areas of specialisation.
