Course Details
Within the School of Architecture and Design, the course leverages a holistic “art school” approach to teaching design and technology that enables delivery of an innovative curriculum. You will develop a critical methodology in skill acquisition and project development, greatly enhancing employability and adaptability within an ever-evolving industry. All courses in the school are taught through a “studio centric” approach, emphasising the importance of cross disciplinary skill sharing, as much as space and resource sharing. This crossdiscipline studio culture enables exciting opportunities for collaboration and experimentation to occur organically. In particular the MA Interior Design shares a common structure with the MA Architecture and MA Product Design, offering a high degree of scope for collaboration across disciplines. The course culminates in the well-respected Canterbury MA Graduation show. As such it provides, prepares and requires students to address the challenge of independently realising and comprehensively articulating full-scale spatial installations for a high profile and public arts event.
