Interior Design - Bachelor's Degree Course
The Bachelor’s degree course Interior Design is the first stage in the training to become an interior designer.

Job Description
The interior designer designs complete concepts and detailed solutions for the interiors of buildings as well as temporary and mobile pieces of architecture. This includes creating arrangements for public places and places with prestige-related functions (e.g. foyers, museums) and the designing of business premises (e.g. shops, restaurants). Some other important areas of work concern the business world (e.g. offices, service industry) and recreation and the living environment (e.g. customised and serial furniture, kitchen planning). The interior designer addresses the issues of the basic formal design of interiors and their structural arrangement, the selection of materials and products, colour and lighting concepts, the design and harmony of the furniture and finishings, as well as the integration of technology and media.
The design products used by the interior designer contribute to lending creative expression to social ideals and requirements in the place of work, in the world of business, in the area of recreation and in the living environment.
