Master of Arts in Interior Design University of East London - Docklands Campus, UK

The aim of this 12-month Master's programme is to engage you in creative and experimental processes and to enhance your ability to grasp complex design ideas.

The programme has a clear hands-on approach which aligns with the 'making' ethos of the School. Live projects, competitions and field trips make this program a unique life-changing experience. View our yearbook to see examples of our students' work.

Design of any scale responds to - and in parallel leads - cultural and social change. Our everyday living changes rapidly. The changing demographics, the emergence of new technologies, shift the way in which we inhabit, use and share spaces.

What is the role of design in the rapidly changing contemporary conditions? What is the office space of the future like? What is the library of the future? What is the shop of the future?

Through our MA in Interior Design programme, we address some of the above questions in a rigorous, experimental and creative manner. Through a fun and hands-on approach we will debate and challenge one another on some of the most current and 'hot' design-related questions.
