Bachelor in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design

Interior Architecture and Environmental Design focuses on shaping interior spaces and their surrounding environments, combining spatial design, materials, and human-centered planning. Coursework typically includes design studio projects, spatial planning, materials and furnishings, lighting design, and building systems, alongside history and theory of interior and environmental design and computer-aided design tools. Students learn to develop interior spatial concepts, select materials and finishes, and consider how lighting, layout, and environmental factors affect how spaces are used and experienced. Graduates typically pursue careers as interior designers, environmental designers, design consultants, or in collaboration with architecture and construction firms on interior fit-out projects.
