Interior Architecture Major

Interior Architecture Major is offered as a non-degree program at Yuhan University in Bucheon, South Korea, running two to three academic years with intakes every March and September and instruction conducted in English. This discipline focuses on the design of interior spaces within buildings, covering how layout, materials, lighting, and furnishings work together to make a room functional, safe, and visually coherent. Students typically study spatial planning, drafting, and the building codes and safety standards that constrain how a space can be arranged, alongside an introduction to construction materials and finishes such as flooring, wall treatments, and fixtures. Coursework often includes computer-aided design and rendering software, which students use to produce floor plans, elevations, and visualizations of proposed interiors before any construction begins. Lighting design is a recurring theme, since the placement and type of lighting substantially affects how a finished space is perceived and used. Students also study the relationship between interior design and the structural and mechanical systems of a building, including how walls, ceilings, and utility runs limit or enable a given layout. Projects frequently simulate real client briefs, requiring students to balance aesthetic goals against budget, code compliance, and practical function. Graduates of programs in this discipline typically pursue roles such as interior designer, design assistant, or space planner at architecture firms, interior design studios, or construction companies, working on residential, commercial, or hospitality projects.
