Introduction

When you understand the purpose of the design and how the built environment impacts human behavior, culture, experiences, performance, and profit, you propel yourself into the next stage of your career.

When you learn how to bring a holistic approach to every interior design project within your company, by considering aspects such as UX analysis, well-being strategies, metrics for ESG goals, and digital tools, your company gains a foothold in our rapidly changing markets. Position your company at the top and stand out from the competition.

Welcome to our Diploma in Strategic Interior Design where we will teach designers to think strategically and non-designers to think spatially.

The highly dynamic and flexible course structure means that program participants can continue to work while studying—a bonus for both students and employers.

Understanding how design can help improve people, society, cities, organizations, and businesses

Current trends in strategic interior design highlight the need for designers to update their skill set:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant change in the way we view our interior spaces, and many companies are downsizing office space.
  • Interaction increasingly takes place in virtual spaces as well as in the physical world.
  • Many companies in Europe are investing in refurbishments.
  • Airports and railway stations are hiring passenger experience experts to create more human-centric design solutions.
