Interior design education

Interior design education is the teaching of skills and information needed to perform interior design work. Education in this field is offered in different parts of the world; however, the application requirements for acceptance vary among countries and schools. There are a number of different routes to attain qualifications in interior design.[1] An interior design education will teach people how to draw and to plan out a space, and will cover the latest design software along with other important coursework that will prepare them for this field of work. Education includes consideration for the design brief, design processes from concept to scheme development and implementation,[2] as well as exploring surrounding philosophies, trends, sector specialisms and professional skills required for practice.

This field offers multiple job opportunities such as owning a business and teaching along with chances of promotions within established firms. Some schools will offer education in interior architecture together with interior design; these are not the same fields of study but do overlap in some ways.[3][4]
