The MA Interior Architecture/Interior Design program is offered to graduates of interior architecture/interior design. The program strengthens the competences and specialized knowledge acquired at BA level so that students can individually apply creative and responsible solutions to tasks in the fields of interior architecture and interior design. The program is firmly grounded in the vibrant city of Berlin but taught exclusively in English. It is designed to help students understand their role and responsibility as interior architects in different physical and cultural contexts – on either a local or a global level.

This MA programme is designed for art, architecture, and design graduates who wish to specialise in creative approaches to the making of the interior. The programme works contextually and aims to provide an adaptive response to under-utilised built-heritage at risk.

The Master of Arts (M.A.) program in Interior Architecture & Design is a thirty-six (36) unit program that will provide students with a dynamic learning environment and a curriculum to prepare them for professional practice. The curriculum covers all aspects of design, including programming, design analysis, understanding human social and spatial interaction, space planning, use of color and materials, preparation of construction documents and specifications, site observation, professional business practices, current methods of interior construction, building systems and components, codes and regulations, fixtures, furnishings, and equipment.

The subject of Interiors is a dynamic and nimble discipline which moves between the fields of Architecture and Design, creating diverse responses that have a strong desire to improve the lives of those who interact with existing buildings and interior space. You will investigate and interpret interior space, inside and outside of the traditional architectural envelope, considering adaptive reuse, human occupation, spatial experience and social innovation as potential catalysts for design propositions.

M.A. Interior Architecture and Design lies within the P.G. Design programme at the School of Creative Arts. Within the programme there is a strong emphasis on professional practice and the real-world applications of art and design. You will develop key research skills and gain a good understanding of the work of other practitioners in your field.

Building in the context of history and identity as well as social change present architects with new challenges. Immerse yourself in the cultural heritage of Europe and shape the future of architecture.
