Interior design

A degree in interior design gives you a wide array of creative and technical skills and as such prepares designers to cope with a broad scope of projects, these can range from structural alterations to existing buildings, to the choice of soft furnishings, fixtures and fittings working to a client’s remit. Opportunities exist throughout the UK with the main employers being design consultancies and architectural practices. Designers need to be mobile as although they are usually based in studios there can be a lot of time spent on location as well.

After building a reputation, many interior designers choose to become self-employed or work freelance.
