Interior design is a dynamic discipline that has recently gained tremendous popularity among students. It improves spatial awareness in many different areas, including residential, hotels, hospitals, retail stores, commercial spaces, and exhibition spaces. It is a versatile profession that requires a creative, imaginative, and artistic mind that can execute and manage a project's design.
Interior design courses cover each aspect of the process, from initial design to branding to project management to execution. Specific modules focus on colour, drawing plans, space planning, furnishings, wall and floor finishes, furniture styles, lighting, and best professional practice—all combining to put you on the right path towards becoming an interior designer.
Most Bachelor of Interior Design courses at UK universities will also cover digital presentation and project management skills, just as important as the practical side of the industry. Work placements and regular contact with specialists in the field are commonplace in most interior design courses, with professional training opportunities also available for live projects. An Interior Design master will encourage you further to develop your independent thinking and ability.
Interior design graduates will move into various fields in the creative and design industry. Career options include working with architects in the UK as part of a design team in freelance design, branding and communications, 3D design, journalism, retail and hospitality.

I sincerely thank SI-UK for getting me accepted to UCL. The MSc in Urban Development and Planning is extremely competitive, but the right guidance provided by SI-UK made my dream of studying at University College London a reality. The services were exceptional from beginning to end.
