Studying with NDA
The Virtual Learning Studio (VLS) is our exclusive, online platform that replaces the usual lectures given in Colleges and Universities. This provides links to other online resources and contains a range of interactive material including videos, images, quizzes and lectures.
Students can rewind and re-watch until they are sure they have understood. No frantic note taking and no missing an important lecture! Study when and where it suits you!
35,000 Qualified Designers and Counting...
With the course being online, it was really convenient, as I could fit the course around my children and family life…. My tutor was Simone. The support was wonderful, and she was always super helpful.
Last year, I set up my own online furniture shop and this year I have started an interior design service in and around Norfolk.

My favourite course module has definitely been Module 04: Cultural Contexts in Interior Design. I find this fascinating, especially since I often design for heritage clients.
The flexibility of the program, coupled with its excellent reviews, made it the perfect choice. I’m really pleased with the decision, as it has significantly enhanced my design expertise.

I actually did the in-studio diploma course in Dubai, but navigating around the VLS upon completion of tasks was easy. Deadlines were good in order to keep me on my toes. My tutor was fun, intuitive and friendly. Just the way a teacher should be!…

Online learning wasn’t something new to me; I enjoyed it and it was ideal for my needs of working during the day and studying in the evenings and on the weekends.
The VLS was simple to navigate and easy to find anything you wanted.

The course has been brilliant throughout. Being able to study online and having that flexibility is what made me decide to apply with NDA.
The VLS platform is very straightforward to use and has a lot of resources and guidance tools to help the learning process. It’s a great system to have.
Denisa Jusic
MA Interior Design
I wanted to study the subject at a professional level. I found the NDA which enabled me to carry on working whilst still studying.
I enjoyed the diploma course so much, I decided to use the NDA’s Progression Scholarship to move onto the BA (Hons) Degree…
Rachel Fowler
BA(Hons) Interior Design
Studying with NDA was a great experience. I really enjoyed the course. It was extremely beneficial, helpful and informative. I gained so much confidence after each module.
It was my first time to learn online and at first I was worried how to communicate with my tutors and friends, but I was really surprised how I was really supported by my tutors.
