The MA Interior Design course at UCA Farnham enables you to develop an individual approach to spatial design within a stimulating, creative and supportive environment. An emphasis on ecological issues and processes is a major concern and underpins all aspects of the MA Interior Design course.
Masters in Interior Design from UCA provides a launch pad to higher level interior design careers within a diverse range of subjects such as museum and exhibition design, design for film, television and digital games and brand interpretation for retail, leisure or promotional events.
Key study topics include:
* Explore a range of issues relating to your project proposal
* Place your research within a real-world context through experimentation and work placement opportunities
* Production of a final project which forms an exposition of the central ideas and concepts developed throughout the course
* Resolve your project as a practice based work or a dissertation or a combination of both.
