Lift off!

DJCAD’s new MDes Interior Design is launching in September 2026. Applications now welcome.

✨️ Course Highlight- MDes Interior Design✨️

The new MDes Interior Design course looks forward to welcoming applicants for September 2026 entry! 😍

Delivered over one calendar year, the course provides a dynamic studio experience for ambitious and spatially curious students keen to shape future spatial experiences and extend the conventions of interior practice. 🧐

The course views the interior as an expanded spatial practice rich with experimental and creative potential. You will be able to explore the interior through three conceptual lenses of culture, ecology, and provocation, take part in interdisciplinary modules in research methods, and take optional modules in experimental writing, service & experience design, making & materiality, or work placement. Studio-based learning is supported by lectures, workshops, and tutorials.

If you have a background in interiors, architecture, landscape, theatre set, environmental art, exhibition, and other spatial discipline then we’d love to hear from you- (and students from other disciplines are very welcome to apply too!).

So, if you are interested in developing future forms of spatial practice then this course is for you! 👋

We’re excited to share that Elissa Lee of the Interior & Environmental Design Class of 2025 of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee, won the Craft & Making Award at the (IE) National Student Awards 2025.

These awards shine a spotlight on the achievements of undergraduate Interior programmes across the UK and Ireland, showcasing the exceptional work produced by students.

The winners were revealed at the awards event in Clerkenwell. All entries were exhibited at the MillerKnoll showroom, before embarking on a year-long tour across various locations hosted by IE members.

Elissa’s winning project, ‘Re-collection’, is a furniture collection inspired by the idiosyncrasies within a series of inherited objects.

During the research stage of the project, individuals were interviewed about memories surrounding their own inherited objects, from a cricket bat to a cribbage board. These interviews directly influenced a series of sculptural objects called ‘Idiosyncra-studies,’ exploring material, motion and human interaction.

The development process included the building of a public installation called 'Take an Idiosyncra-seat.' Utilising the duality of a pair of chairs, members of the public were inspired to take a seat and share insights and memories relating to inherited furniture.

The outcome of the project is an abstraction of the intricate relationships between humans and our cherished objects. It incorporates elements of existing furniture and delicate details, celebrating tangible and intangible idiosyncrasies.

Fantastic work Elissa – many congratulations!

Many of our Interior & Environmental Design students (both completing and progressing) were shortlisted and longlisted across the various categories in the awards. Well done to you all! You can view their submissions on the Interior Educators website alongside Elissa’s award-winning work.
