Course overview

The course has a distinctive identity as it takes a contemporary view of experimental spatial practice and thrives on blurring disciplinary boundaries. It also benefits from a unique position of being a design course in an art school environment.  

With a focus on research-led practice, you’ll be encouraged along a path of personal discovery. This starts with an area of individual research interest. 
 
We have a particular expertise in experiential and sensorial aspects of what it means to inhabit space and interact with our environment. 

We work with existing structures both internally and externally, with film and video, and between digital and analogue. We consider both physical and virtual space as equally valid forms of experience. 

We treat making, drawing, text and debate as equal and complimentary forms of expression and representation.   
 
The course encourages and facilitates cross-disciplinary activity. We provide opportunities for working on live projects and working on collaborations with practitioners in various fields.

There is scope within the course structure to negotiate what your portfolio submission can be at the end of each unit. In this regard, you might develop your writing, film making or other forms of practice as well as the more usual installation or design propositions. 

What to expect  

• Questioning: You’ll think about what constitutes space and spatial practice and how we inhabit, experience and remember space. 
• Develop design sensibilities: These will enable you to observe, reflect and intervene in existing and speculative spatial situations. 
• Social responsibility: You’ll be asked to position yourself and your practice in a contemporary environment that responds to current aesthetic, political and social situations. We do not expect you to be passive in your actions. 
• An iterative approach: This method is aimed at encouraging understanding and critical reflection. 
• Build confidence: You’ll be encouraged to take control of your decision making and progression in forming an individual identity.
• Access to Camberwell's shared workshops: Including printmaking, photography, film, moving image, digital, plastic, ceramics, wood and metalwork. View the Camberwell facilities.

Industry experience and opportunities

We have regular collaborations that you can choose to be involved in. These will vary year to year. 

The self-defined nature of projects allows you to develop approaches that align with your own career interests, whether in a professional studio, as an artist or performer or in other related fields such as theatre, film or game environments. We also encourage further study through MRes or PhD study for students who are interested in pursuing careers in research and academia.

Mode of study 

MA Interior and Spatial Design is offered in full-time mode and runs for 45 weeks over 15 months. You will be expected to commit an average of 40 hours per week to your course, including teaching hours and independent study.
