Bachelor of Arts in
Interior Architecture
The scope of work in interior design has expanded tremendously. As the built environment of the present day has grown in complexity and diversity, the realm of the interior designer works alongside other consultant such as architects, engineers and construction managers, in many cases today projects are handled independently, by a new breed of professionals: interior architects.
These are creative professionals who do not only plan & design public, commercial, recreational, institutional and domestic buildings, but are also responsible for and qualified in the management of the implementation of such projects.
These projects help Interior Architecture students to develop an understanding of the relationship between architecture, interiors, engineering and project management. Students will also learn to solve pragmatic problems related to interior spaces and build up a sound knowledge of construction as well as technical issues.
