Interior Design

Degree and foundation-level interior design distance learning courses

In the study of interior design, a great emphasis is placed on the positive shaping of attitudes and preconceptions of interior design.

It’s not curtains and cushions, it’s spaces and places and how their design can have an effect on us as a user of that space. Throughout our online interior design course, you’ll look at how environmental and societal factors affect how we perceive and use space. Though interior decoration is a part of interior design, it is just one of the many parts of the discipline.

Our online interior design courses are here to foster your ambition and creativity so that you can become a spatial dreamer, an architectural investigator, and a playful innovator of interiors – someone ready to pursue or enhance their career in interior design.

What are UK online interior design courses?

Online interior design courses offer the same programme and assessment as traditional courses but enable you to complete your studies from home. This will allow you to balance your online interior design education alongside your everyday life, from anywhere in the world.

Online colleges for interior design including the Open College of the Arts can also offer you the opportunity to study part time while you continue to work, parent, or manage caring responsibilities. You can study at a pace that suits you while continuing to develop your skills and portfolio.
