The scope of work in interior design has expanded tremendously. As the built environment of the present day has grown in complexity and diversity, the realm of the interior has become a profession in its own right. While an interior designer works alongside other consultant such as architects, engineers and construction managers, in many cases today projects are handled independently by a new breed of professionals: interior architects. These are creative professionals who do not only plan and design public, commercial, recreational, institutional and domestic buildings, but are also responsible for and qualified in the management of the implementation of such projects.
These projects help Interior Architecture students to develop an understanding of the relationship between architecture, interiors, engineering and project management. Students will also learn to solve pragmatic problems related to interior spaces and build up a sound knowledge of construction as well as technical issues.
Students with a recognised Diploma in the relevant field will be given credit exemptions based on past results and portfolio review (where applicable).
Pass an ‘O’ Level or an equivalent qualification from an institution recognised by the local Ministry of Education.
