Bachelor of Science in Interior Design

Interior design is a multifaceted discipline which has a fundamental effect on our everyday lives. Whether it is where we work, shop, live or spend our leisure time, our surroundings greatly influence our sense of well-being and it is the role of the interior designer to create healthy, functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces from conceptual development through to execution of the design.

Under the umbrella of the Bachelor in Architecture in the College of Engineering, you will receive an in-depth education that will help you develop the knowledge and creative skills necessary to add real value as an interior designer. The program combines both aesthetics and technology, such as computer aided design (CAD) and 3-D computer modelling, to help you create remarkable indoor environments.

You will learn to prepare a comprehensive program for an interior design project which will include an assessment of client and user needs and critical review of appropriate precedents. This will entail technical elements including inventory of space requirements, analysis of site conditions, and review of relevant safety provisions, codes, laws and standards, as well as creative elements such as integrating lighting, color schemes and furniture.
