Interior Design concerns itself with the humanistic element of space and how the environments in which we spend our day-to-day existence are formed and fabricated. Students in the program engage with a variety of projects that deal with small-scale (residential) to large-scale (offices, hospitals) projects. Graduates of the program work as interior designers in multi-disciplinary groups and work on projects that range from exhibition and furniture design to multi-million dollar construction projects.
