Our popular BA (Hons) Interior Architecture course encourages applicants straight from school, sixth form college, art & design foundation courses and via mature student routes. Applicants, therefore, apply at different times, and all applications will be considered.
If you apply for BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and meet our entry criteria you will be asked to send in a digital portfolio containing a selection of images from your art, design or creative work. A decision to offer you a place will be made by the Academic Team based on the quality of your portfolio and how it demonstrates your potential to study on the programme with success. You should therefore ensure that the images you send us include what you consider to be your strongest work and should be chosen to demonstrate your abilities in a range of visual communication media that best displays your engagement with creativity and the design process. Please see below for advice on what to include in your portfolio. Applicants are advised to attend one of our Applicant Visitor days to see our excellent studios and facilities in person, and to discuss the programme with staff to get the most out of your application to study Interior Architecture.
Shortlisted international students will be asked to submit a digital portfolio of work and will receive feedback on the outcome of your application from admissions and a member of the teaching staff.
Your portfolio should be a collection of your creative work and is a means for you to demonstrate your abilities, interests, and potential for interior architecture. Your portfolio should include some freehand observational studies that convey your appreciation of composition and form, and your design development work/work in progress will show your enthusiasm for design, and interest in or potential for interior architecture. We are particularly interested in seeing how you think and develop your ideas, so please include sketchbook pages and work in progress.
Northumbria University sets a minimum entry tariff for qualifications to maintain academic standards. However, we also believe talking to you is an indicator of your potential too. If you are offered a place to study Interior Architecture at Northumbria, we are inviting you to join our community, not just join a course. Our Applicant Visitor Days are an opportunity for us to hear about your work in more detail and your studies to date. We can also tell you about our community and studios, to help you make the right decision on where you would like to study.
