Bachelor of Design (3 year Interior)

Overview

The Bachelor program begins by teaching the fundamentals of interior design. These topics include colour theory, spatial planning, and software necessary to building realistic models of the designs. Projects include both residential and commercial spaces that help students learn how to approach various project types. In class lectures combined with desk critiques and followed by presentations assist students in creating thoroughly developed projects.

Additionally, the projects are all completed individually to assure that students can use them in their individual portfolios. This means that when the students graduate they take with them a complete portfolio of work that they can use to apply for jobs in an interior design firm or studio.

Faculty

The faculty is made up of both locally Italian and international professors who all speak and teach in English. Additionally, the professors are all professionals working in their field. This is to ensure that the faculty is aware of what is happening in their field so that they do not give their students outdated information.
