The BA (Hons) Top-Up Degree in Interior Design consists of the final 3 modules of the BA (Hons) Interior Design Degree. It is the perfect progression route for students who have completed a Foundation Degree (FdA) in Interior Design, either with NDA or from a different university or college.
Direct Entry students are always welcome. After one further year of study FdA graduates can top-up their degree to a full Bachelor’s Degree with Honours. They can continue to study flexibly online, alongside their career or family and even choose their own start date.
Study flexibly online through our bespoke virtual learning studio (VLS)
The VLS is our exclusive, online resource which replaces the normal lectures given in Colleges and Universities. This provides links to other online resources and may contain 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!
The majority of NDA students will complete their BA (Hons) Degree online in just 3 years, others may take a little longer and a few may need the maximum study time of 8 years.

Every NDA student has a personally allocated tutor to guide them through their qualification. You have unlimited access to your Personal Tutor and can book a one to one tutorial by telephone, Skype or in-person.
Student Support Team
We also have a dedicated Student Support and Administration Team to help deal with any other queries such as payments, student loans advice and anything else you may need a helping hand with.
Our Student Helpline is available Monday–Friday from 9am–5pm.

With the NDA, now you can afford to study for a degree
Student loans are the most popular way for NDA students to study as they cover the entire cost of their degree. Loans are not based on income or means tested and most students in England will qualify. Repayments only start after four years—but if you earn less than £25,000 per year you will not have to repay.
