Interio Design
An interior designer’s professionalism is revealed through the ability to effectively solve the functional requirements of a designed space while applying original aesthetic solutions. This field is distinctive in that it requires continuous development of professional skills and an ongoing search for individual creative solutions. Students develop interior design projects for spaces of various typologies.

A future interior designer requires not only strong theoretical foundations but also solid practical professional skills. During the studies, students learn to create, present, and implement both team-based and individual projects.
