Design process and conceptual thinking methodologies are explored through studio work, which also involves design history, theory of colours, technical knowledge on building materials and technology, manual drafting, and latest computer-aided drawing and 3D visualization software.

The 18-months part-time Diploma in Interior Design programme further enhances students’ skills and knowledge through various site visits, design forums, and seminars. Learning techniques to convey interior design ideas through visual and verbal means, students will be able to produce creative and pragmatic solutions for every interior design project.
