Interior Architecture and Design QQI Level 6 Course - Dublin
At BFEI located in Blackrock village, Co.Dublin we offer a one and two year, QQI Level 5 and Level 6 Interior Architecture and Design course.
Do you have basic technical drawing skills and a good foundation in Interior Design or Architecture?
Year Two of the Interior Architecture and Design course builds on the skills gained in our Level 5 programme. This is a standalone qualification with a focus on developing a deeper understanding of spatial design, particularly in commercial settings.
Students will strengthen their ability to work with space conceptually, and will develop more advanced computer and design presentation skills. Work becomes more professional in both approach and output, preparing students for real-world expectations.
The Work Experience module offers a valuable opportunity to explore different career paths within the design industry. Many of our students take advantage of our excellent progression links to universities, while others choose to enter the workforce directly after completing the course.
