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.

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.

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.

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...

Hear what past and present students have to say about studying at the NDA

A really great challenge is completed (for now) but who knows for the next one.... a big thanks to Stephen my Tutor who pushed me in the right way to improve me and my skills since the first to the last day of this amazing experience! A big virtual hug from Italy!

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.

For a working mum like myself the flexibility of the course enabled me to study around my personal life. The course content was well structured and provided ample reading information to underpin the knowledge required for the brief.

Studying with the NDA cemented the reasons why I decided to inaugurate myself into the study of interior design, giving me the drive and skills to commence my career as an interior designer.

The course was absolutely fantastic, I really enjoyed it. It's quite flexible; I've got two children at home, so while I was bringing them up I could also study and open up doors of opportunity for myself.

It's been a real journey, because I've worked more or less full time whilst I've done it, so it's a matter of studying every night. Now it's over I really miss it, I really, really enjoyed it, every minute.

The tutors at NDA have been great and have helped me to develop a lot from when I first started, I've come a long way since and It's given me a lot of confidence; I'm now going to start setting up as a freelance designer.

I started doing the course as a hobby, but now as I've gained experience working with friends and family, I'm thinking about actually changing it into a career, I just love it.
