Coming to see us? Find travel information and more about the University of Plymouth's city centre campus in the University location pages.We run two separate design courses,
BA (Hons) Interior Design
and
BA (Hons) Product and Furniture Design
.
With a focus on interior design and place making and a mix of live and theoretical projects
BA (Hons) Interior Design
explores the space between objects and architecture with a hands-on approach to crafting the interior and positively influencing the perception and experience of people as they use space.
The two courses have been developed to respond to the shifting design and commercial landscape and provide the opportunity for students to deepen their specialism and develop a career in design whilst benefitting from a multi-disciplinary setting, which mimics contemporary design studio practice.
Both courses work alongside each other in our modern open plan studios with access to traditional and digital workshop facilities. With making at its core and the opportunity for collaboration and team work the two courses provide a fantastic opportunity to learn how to turn your ideas into real products and spaces, creating delightful and rewarding experiences that define the consumer's emotional connection to the world around them.
