What is an Interior Design and Architectural course?

Interior Design courses cover everything that goes into developing and improving the interior of a building. Whether it be residential or commercially focused, you’ll master things like lighting, colour, furnishings and functionality. 

Architectural Technology courses focus on new and emerging digital technologies and give you expertise in computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modelling (BIM). You'll learn to create inspiring and sustainable environments that meet 21st century demands.
