Why study interior architecture?
Most of the buildings we will inhabit in 2050 have already been built.
You could create hospitals where people get better faster, schools where people learn better, or give buildings entirely new uses.
The focus is on creating delightful and powerful places for people and society.
Why UWE Bristol?
BA(Hons) Interior Architecture considers all aspects of interior architecture, from psychology and social conditions to structure, furniture design and materials, sound and light. We produce sought-after graduates with specialist knowledge and the skill to create exciting buildings.
Rethink existing buildings and convert them to suit a range of uses. Apply these skills to temporary structures and installations including theatres and exhibitions.
Discover how to think laterally, make connections and take inspiration from art, film, science, sociology. Transform places, spaces and even ideas.

Our students have completed work for the Arnolfini centre for contemporary art and Ernst & Young, and made proposals for the redevelopment of a former television studio.
