Master of Arts - Interior Architecture and Design

Program Description Nottingham Trent University's Masters course in Interior Architecture and Design offers a multi-dimensional platform that explores and interrogates the crucial discussions of interior, spatial, and architectural design. Now more than ever, this specialised intersection is essential to redefining how to interact with the surrounding worlds; from the immediately personal, to the collectively experiential, it is the contemporary action of the discipline to challenge the very nature of ‘the interior’.

Within the studio-centric culture, students will have the opportunity to develop through a combination of explorative design projects and skill-based modules. Throughout the programme, students will work on a structured series of theoretical designs to investigate methodologies in context, focusing on the interrogation, manipulation, and definition of space.

Studio projects are introduced sequentially throughout the year, following the term-based structure of the year. Each one will examine differing scales, combinations, and typological genres within the thematic context of interior architecture and design. Across all projects, an emphasis on research is used as an informing platform for independent exploration and discussion, enabling varied and unique responses to each brief.

The course is tailored for graduates in the wider and associated field of interior architecture and design, but is equally available to professionals and graduates of a related profession. Irrespective of background, the course is fundamentally created for those share a passion in progressing architectural design and a desire to interrogate and develop the future of what the interior might be. It is a platform for expression, creativity, and crucial thinking alike, and it is encouraged that all who join the MA in Interior Architecture and Design challenge the very nature of the programme itself.
