Description:

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Interior Architecture and Design

Overview 

The Interior Architecture and Design course at IT Sligo provides an Internationally recognised level of interior education and training aligned with ECIA* excellence in Interior Architecture education and best practice across Europe. This Level 8 Interior Architecture and Design Honours programme offers a unique combination of:

  • excellent professional grounding in Interior Architecture and Design
  • focused preparation for enterprise and
  • freedom of choice, creative opportunity and expression

*European Council for Interior Architecture

Why study with us?

 As part of the Yeats Academy, we draw on the existing ‘spirit of place’ of the rugged Atlantic coast– as have generations of creative practitioners who have come from or been drawn to this magnificent mythical place with its deep rooted history, evocative landscape, rich culture and creative spirit.

The learning experience in Interior Architecture and Design course is designed to be accessible, experiential, self-directed and supported, to scaffold and promote student independence and autonomy. We work with students in small groups to ensure personalised support from lecturers and to foster inter-student collaboration and connection. Students are provided with individual studio space which is accessible throughout the week, and can avail of all on-campus facilities (workshops, computer labs, printing services).

Interior Architecture Studio modules form the core of the programme. The Studio projects are carefully selected to give students diverse experience across a range of Interior typologies. Students have the opportunity to work both individually and in groups, to work with ‘live’ clients and on community projects, participate in international design competitions and to liaise with design professionals throughout the course.

An annual field trip to a European design capital forms part of the curriculum and is where possible linked to a visit to an international design week event or design industry fair.

 

What makes our Level 8 (Honours) Interior Architecture and Design course unique?

Students are provided with a choice of three or four year options. The three core years provide discipline specific training which is combined with modules that enjoy creative collaboration with programmes across the Yeats Academy of Arts, Design and Architecture. The sandwich year is designed in response to the diverse aspirations of our students offering a unique selection of pathways including:

  • work placements   
  • studying abroad- Erasmus opportunities
  • training for enterprise
  • a year of studies in another creative discipline at IT Sligo
  • student’s individual selection of modules from across the Yeats Academy

How is student work assessed?

A 'risk free' environment in which learning and creativity can flourish facilitates the student to become an autonomous professional capable of responding to design problems contextually globally, nationally and locally.

“If you want to change student learning then change the method of assessment”

                                       George Brown, Assessing Student Learning in Higher Education

There are no tests and exams as part of the programme. Students are assessed through design projects and assignments with feedback given as the design and projects progress.

Do you share our vision?

Our Interior Architecture and Design programme focuses an environmentally conscious approach to the re-use, re-imagination and innovative re-invention of the existing built environment with a strong focus on sculpting interior space. Our graduates are skilled in responding creatively to both the Interior Architectural aspects of place, heritage and building as well as interpretation of client’s identity and design needs.   

Our vision for this program stems from the following core philosophical aspirations:

  • Care for human experience
  • Inspired, environmentally conscious response to place - community, location and culture
  • Creative communication and global engagement
