Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Interior Design and Decoration with Foundation Year London Metropolitan University - Aldgate Campus, UK

Our Interior Design and Decoration (including foundation year) BA (Hons) degree course includes an intensive preparatory year that provides an alternative route into an undergraduate degree.

This course is the ideal choice if you want to explore your potential and work towards establishing an individual direction. It is also a gateway into an undergraduate degree if you don’t meet the necessary requirements for the standard three-year course.

The foundation year is an intensive year that will help you progress to the bachelor’s part of our Interior Design and Decoration (including foundation year) BA (Hons) degree. In the subsequent three years of your course you’ll focus more on the discipline of interior design and decoration, during which you’ll get to explore projects spanning private, commercial and community interiors.

The foundation year will help you make sure that you choose the right specialism and prepare you for study at undergraduate level. It will help you to build a portfolio of work, as well as develop knowledge and skills related to a range of specialist undergraduate degree programmes in our School of Art, Architecture and Design.

You’ll share the foundation year with others studying a degree with a foundation year in the School. The shared curriculum will introduce you to techniques used by architects, artists and interior designers through a variety of intensive studio projects – from 2D and 3D composition drawing to workshop techniques.

After the foundation year you’ll join students on our Interior Design and Decoration BA (Hons) and you’ll study the same content and have the same choice of modules as them. On graduation you’ll also gain the same award and title.

If practising different areas of art and design sparks your interest in a specialism that is not interior design and decoration, there will be flexibility to allow you to change your specialism.
