Overview
Pearson BTEC Level 5 Diploma HND in Art&Design (Interior design) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a Approx 24 Months (960 guided learning hours) undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Interior Design is assessed on the work you produce rather than on examinations, which changes how the year is paced.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £6,950 a year.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
