The College of Art and Design at AASTMT values innovation, creativity, and continuous development—principles that are fully embedded within the Interior and Furniture Design Programme, now proudly validated by Cardiff Metropolitan University (UK). This prestigious validation ensures that our students graduate with dual recognition, opening pathways to both local and international opportunities.
Interior and Furniture Design is a multi-disciplinary field that goes beyond aesthetics. It brings together artistic vision, structural knowledge, material science, cultural awareness, and sustainable practices. The programme introduces students to the history and evolution of the field, while equipping them with the technical and digital tools needed to design functional, sustainable, and culturally relevant interior spaces and furniture pieces.
With a dynamic curriculum, the programme offers integrated streams of core and elective courses tailored to industry needs. Students benefit from hands-on learning, collaborative projects, and access to cutting-edge facilities and labs. The programme also draws on the expertise of faculty from related disciplines—Engineering, Media, and Business-offering students a rich, multi-disciplinary learning environment.
The Interior and Furniture Design Programme aims to equip students with artistic vision and technical proficiency, bridging the gap between creativity and industrial application. Through innovation, research, and collaboration with industry partners, students will learn to design spaces and furniture that are both aesthetically compelling and functionally sustainable. Emphasis is placed on cultural and historical awareness, social responsibility, and environmentally conscious design.
Graduates of the programme will:
Develop the artistic, technical, and professional skills required to create innovative and sustainable interior spaces and furniture designs.
