This module explores colour schemes for interior and exterior spaces and makes recommendations for colour applications and finishes. Students will apply their knowledge and skills to design multiple rooms, including a bedroom, living room, patio, and home office.

• MSFID4016 Design colour schemes for interior and exterior spaces
• MSFID5027 Research and recommend colour applications and finishes

This module focuses on researching the features of hard materials and finishes for interior spaces and makes relevant recommendations to satisfy a design brief. Students will apply their knowledge and skills to design two kitchens, including a utility area.

• MSFID4018 Research and recommend hard materials and finishes for interiors

This module explores the history of interior design by looking at specific interior decoration and design influences. Students will use this information to inspire their own designs.

• CUADES305 Source and apply information on the history and theory of design
• MSFID4019 Research interior decoration and design influences

This module focuses on researching various furniture and accessories for interior spaces to design soft furnishing solutions that satisfy a brief. Students will use their knowledge and skills to design two bedrooms and an en-suite.

• MSFID4017 Research and recommend furniture and accessories
• MSFID4021 Design soft furnishing solutions for interior spaces

This module focuses on the introduction to CAD. It will explore the creative design processes to create 3D forms and relevant 3D digital models using appropriate software. Students will use CAD skills in the design of multiple bathrooms.

• CUADES303 Explore and apply the creative design process to 3D forms
• CUAANM313 Create 3D digital models
• MSFID5021 Evaluate site structure and services for interior spaces

This module focuses on inclusive design, i.e., creating spaces that are accessible for all ages and abilities. Students will apply the necessary techniques and processes to design three inclusive spaces of their choice.

• MSFID5025 Develop residential interior design project documentation
• MSFID4013 Design residential interior lighting
• MSFID5020 Design residential interiors

This module focuses on designing entire residential spaces, interior lighting, and the production of design project documentation. Students must apply all the knowledge and skills they have gained thus far to satisfy multiple briefs, leading to the design of entire residential apartments.

• MSFID4015 Prepare materials and finishes boards for client presentation
• MSFID5023 Design for all ages and abilities
• CUADES423 Research and apply techniques in spatial design

This module focuses on producing digital models and documentation while developing proposals for multiple complex sites. Students will be required to include integrated embedded technologies and sustainable practices while completing three restoration design projects, each involving a large, high-end residential dwelling.

• MSFID5016 Develop decoration proposals for complex sites
• MSFID5019 Decorate interiors for restoration projects
• MSFID4020 Research and integrate embedded technologies in interior designs
• MSFID4014 Produce digital models and documentation for interior design projects
• CUAPPR514 Establish and maintain environmentally sustainable creative practice

This module allows students to develop and extend their design skills and practices in relation to industry requirements (i.e., employment). Students will identify their strengths and weaknesses as a designer and create a personal development plan based on their career ambitions. They will further develop their design skills by presenting a body of their own creative work that has been refined and improved, showing their progression in this course.

• CUADES413 Develop and extend design skills and practice
• CUAPPR513 Present a body of own creative work
