CPD Modules
You can study the first four modules from the Online BA (Hons) Interior Design Degree as CPD.
Module 01 - Research & Contextualisation
Research & Contextualisation
Interior design is a vibrant and exciting industry, and within this module you will be introduced to world leaders in both residential and commercial design. Research underpins all good design projects therefore this module will introduce you to the skills and methods needed to undertake this research. You will gain a comprehensive knowledge of interior design and its history through the ages; knowledge which you will be able to apply to future modules.
Module 02 - Space Planning
Space Planning
However beautiful a space, if it is not functional it will not work for the user. Form and function is essential for good design. In this module you will learn how to design a space to meet the requirements of its function. You will learn how to plan and design an efficient, comfortable and safe space within a number of different briefs for both residential and commercial interiors. You will also start to learn the importance of development work at the initial stages of a project and how a concept will aid the design process.
Module 03 - Design in Historical Context
Design in Historical Context
To understand the present, you need to understand the past, and in this module you will be encouraged to actively research heritage buildings within your local area, utilising some of the skills developed in the research module. This module examines the factors that have played a part in the development of interior design since the Renaissance and gives you the opportunity to recreate some of the most fascinating design styles throughout history.
Module 04 - Creative Lighting and Technology
Creative Lighting and Technology
Good lighting and the creative use of technology is integral to any good interior design project. This module will cover the vast array of products and technologies which can be used within a space to create a dynamic yet functional scheme for both residential and commercial projects. You will further develop the scheme produced in your Space Planning module, adding lighting and audio-visual technology to an already developed furniture plan, ensuring that the space is fit for the purpose identified by the client.

What Our Students Say
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
I looked at courses online and various institutes, and found the National Design Academy. I was instantly impressed by the website, the breakdown of the modules, the alumni stories and the lecturer stories…
I didn’t necessarily think that I would do the full degree… but I think it’s a really good way of learning more with a direct potential to work.
Jake Henry
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.
Azza Refaat
BA(Hons) Interior Design
Now I have finished the course with a First Class Honours, I am beginning to put my portfolio together, so I can apply for a full-time job as an interior designer.
I can’t wait to start working in a professional setting, so I can learn from different designers, develop my skills and give my own creative input in the design process.
Annabelle Westwater
BA(Hons) Interior Design
I loved the flexibility of the course and that I could do it all online. I was living in Spain at the time, so it suited my schedule. I also liked that all the courses were accredited, which was important to me.
I’ve recently completed my degree and I’m now waiting to receive my final degree classification!
Orla Lindsay
BA(Hons) Interior Design
I had already completed two courses at NDA… which I thoroughly enjoyed. They deepened my love for interior design, so continuing with NDA felt like the natural next step.
My ultimate goal (after my degree) is to start my own business, creating an interior design warehouse and studio, where I can put everything I’ve learned into practice.
Tamala Mwamba
BA(Hons) Interior Design
I have gained many new skills like planning how to use space, the use of creative lighting, the importance of sustainable design and how to efficiently use a show home and home staging.
I would recommended to NDA to all people who have a passion for interior design, and those looking to get an Accredited UK Degree in Interior Design.
