The BA (Hons) Interior Architecture course at the University of East London equips students with skills in drawing, 3D modelling and digital fabrication for a refined interior architecture practice.

BA (Hons) Interior Architecture at UEL is a future-facing, design-led course that bridges architecture and interior design, equipping students with the creative, technical and conceptual tools to shape spatial experiences from the inside out.

Rooted in a deep understanding of spatial reuse and transformation, the course focuses on adaptive reuse, materiality, and human-centred design, responding to the growing need for sustainable architectural interventions in existing buildings.

Throughout the degree, you will explore how to reimagine and repurpose spaces across a wide range of contexts – including cultural, social and commercial environments – while developing strong skills in drawing, 3D modelling, physical prototyping and digital fabrication.

Emphasis is placed on working with real sites and communities in East London, giving you hands-on experience and a socially engaged perspective on interior architecture.

You will learn to develop creative proposals that are sustainable, context-aware, and rich in spatial narrative. The course balances conceptual thinking with technical rigour, preparing you to contribute meaningfully to both practice and postgraduate study.

Supported by UEL's expert staff and London's vibrant design culture, you will graduate with a distinctive portfolio that reflects your design identity and ability to make impactful, spatial interventions within the built environment.
