Master’s Programme in Interior Design
The four-semester Master’s Programme in Interior Design is designed to enable students to address the phenomena, functions and interpretations of space in a deeper, artistically oriented manner. The Detmold School makes possible a high level of theoretical, artistic and technical-scientific knowledge and skills, not only through the mandatory programme in human, cultural, and engineering sciences, but also by means of enhanced training in the artistic methods and principles of “staging space”, of lighting in architecture, of colour design, and of the design of spatial facilities with furniture and equipment.

Central to the study is work on complex projects, with the main emphases:
• Domestic Design, i.e. the design of spaces, furniture and products for interculturally and multi-culturally varied lifestyles, with particular consideration for light, colour and material
• Corporate Design, i.e. the design of spaces and facilities for information, communications and interaction, for corporate and brand presentations, corporate identity, virtual reality and multimedia productions
• Event Design, i.e. staging of representative and experiential spaces, interior-design environments, and scenography for festivities, exhibitions, and cultural and theatrical events.
In addition, there is a wide range of elective subjects from all areas of the study programme, which permit the development of individual study profiles.

Course overview
Construction and Design is primarily concerned with the technical aspects of buildings and the processes involved with their construction and maintenance.

Within this context, the main aims of this degree are:
to develop a critical awareness of building design and the technologies and principles associated with building design
to encourage you to take a logical approach to resolving a range of construction management issues
to equip you with a range of skills currently in demand within the construction industry.
The use of external specialists for some lectures ensures that course content is closely aligned with current industry practice. There is necessarily a great deal of technical knowledge required by practising professionals and teaching of this is backed up by workshops that allow you to test this knowledge in a practical setting. The opportunity to spend time in a work placement means you will also have the opportunity to test your new skills in a professional environment.

When you graduate you will be able to:
describe the functions and properties of basic building components
demonstrate a sound understanding of the construction process and the functions of associated professionals
design, implement and manage appropriate organisational and management systems to suit particular construction projects or design environments.
Although an intellectually demanding course, the real focus of this degree is on providing you with the knowledge and skills required to succeed within a construction design environment. It’s also about giving you the ability and confidence to think independently and take a logical yet creative approach to delivering solutions to practical challenges.

A student with the Interior Design Sewing A.A. Degree will be prepared to become a professional within the Interior Design field. Interior designers identify, research, and creatively solve challenges pertaining to the function of interior design environments in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. This dynamic field pertinent to the California economy addresses function and aesthetics, lifestyle, technology, historical perspectives, environmental needs, demographic changes, legislative issues and universal design. Academic and technical preparation essential to the profession include analysis and synthesis of user needs, business, technical and communication skills, as well as creative expression, fabrication skills and development.

Working conditions and hours can be varied and may involve travel. Salaries are based on education, experience and job responsibilities. Incomes of experienced professionals vary greatly depending on location, volume of business and their reputation. The greatest number of job opportunities and highest wages generally exist in larger urban areas. Employment opportunities can be found from the sole practitioner to large corporate firms.

Career Opportunities
The Interior Design Sewing A.A. degree provides students with an option for a career or the requisite foundation for transfer to a four-year college or university. Completion of an A.A. degree in Interior Design Sewing requiring a minimum of 60 semester credit hours provides students with design assistant level qualifications in production, installation, planning, illustration, specifications, estimating, management, merchandising, self-employment or entrepreneurship.

The fundamental principle of the IMechE and IET accredited Product Design & Manufacture programmes, are that good designers have a broad range of skills, from creative and aesthetic awareness, through design engineering and communication, to manufacturing understanding and analysis. It is essential that the graduate Product Design Engineers are both able to design new products that satisfy the original design functional and aesthetic specifications, but are also able to identify the correct manufacturing route for the production quality and quantity required.

Through the provision of the only IMechE and IET engineering accredited MEng and BEng programmes in the country, we provide students with the ability to design, manufacture and test fully functioning design solutions, using UGS NX4 and SolidEdge 3D design environments, state of the art Rapid Manufacturing facilities, industry standard machine tool systems, manufacturing processes, and sub-micron accuracy measurement equipment.
BEng (Hons)/BEng (Hons) DIS

The IMechE and IET accredited BEng programmes aim to provide graduates who can play a substantial role in companies concerned with the design and manufacture of consumer products. On completion of the course, students should have acquired a good understanding of the design, analytical and manufacturing skills necessary to effectively develop new products. The programmes provide a good foundation for graduates wishing to progress to professional engineering status. The programme is broad based and covers a range of both product design and manufacture topics, as well as an element of traditional engineering subjects.

Throughout the three academic years of the programme, skills are developed across all of these areas. By combining a thorough design education with a sound manufacturing engineering base, our graduates are ideally placed to conceive and develop innovative designs and turn them into manufacturing reality and profitable products.
MEng (Hons)/MEng (Hons) DIS

The IMechE and IET accredited MEng programmes aim to produce graduates who have the academic ability to become the future leaders of industry in companies concerned with the design and manufacture of consumer products. On completion of this course, students should have acquired a substantial technical depth in core product design and manufacture skills, have a good breadth in related disciplines and have developed highly effective transferable skills. The MEng programmes provide the preferred route to achieving Chartered Engineer status, and a direct route to further design studies.

These programmes of four academic years allow high calibre Product Design & Manufacture students to develop their understanding of the role of product design and manufacturing engineering in both product and production development. The first two academic years are similar to the BEng structure.

The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng programmes in the third and fourth academic years, providing broadening and deepening of the engineering learning experience, allowing further development of the technical aspects and addressing the strategic and managerial challenge facing the implementation of new professional approaches in industry. If you choose to follow a BEng or MEng sandwich programme, you will complete a full year of assessed IMechE accredited industrial training between Years 2 and 3 of your academic studies, leading to the additional award of Loughborough’s highly respected Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS).
