The Master in Interior Design focuses on learning the skills needed to become a professional interior designer.

You will gain a thorough knowledge of the principles of design, space planning and material selection, and will have the opportunity to develop your creative and technical skills.

Multidisciplinary Approach

A lot of practice, laboratories, outdoor visits and workshops are the core of the SPD method. The program provides students with the opportunity to collaborate with industry professionals and companies, fostering teamwork and skill development.

SPD Experience

Studying at SPD means immersing yourself in a fresh, dynamic and international environment, where foreign students account for 70% of the total student population. Each student is followed individually by a faculty composed of professionals coming from different fields.

Internship/Advanced Practice

This module provides the opportunity for the student to experience either a vocational internship with external institutions and companies, an internal research internship, or a period of study abroad.

Major Project

The Major Project module aims at enabling students to develop and direct their own design project, taking into account learnings from previous modules. It aims also at encouraging students to demonstrate a high level of professional competence and to have a deep understanding of the social and philosophical context, in which they are practising. Students are expected to demonstrate the enterprise potential in their ideas and to understand the future possibilities and contexts, in which ideas will exist. Students critically reflect upon their own learning and become prepared for continuous professional development.
