Interior Architecture

About this programme

Our BA (Hons) Interior Architecture course is part of the School of Architecture, blending creative design with critical thinking. While some modules are shared with Architecture, Interior Architecture focuses on designing from the user's perspective; considering how people experience and move through space. You’ll explore real-world issues through live projects with local clients and develop unique ‘furnitecture’, designs that sit between furniture and architecture. Rooted in both the rich traditions of architectural theory and the dynamic, emerging field of interior design, the course encourages bold ideas and hands-on experimentation. With over 20 years of experience and as a founding member of Interior Educators, we’re proud to offer a supportive and forward-thinking environment. Based in Oxford, you'll have access to world-class buildings for inspiration and study. Explore our students’ work and see what you could create. Design at a scale between furniture and architecture, shaping materials and space with originality and imagination. Learn to develop design briefs by translating social and cultural needs into clear and meaningful design parameters. Gain the skills, insight and industry links to succeed in the interdisciplinary field of interior environments. You will be involved in a hands-on learning method where students engage with real clients, sites, and communities as part of the design process. Interior Architecture is ranked 12th in the Guardian Architecture subject league ranking 2025.
