3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
The BA Interior Architecture/Interior Design at Berlin International University of Applied Sciences equips you with practical skills to create innovative, sustainable interior spaces that connect people with their environments—all in English, in the heart of creative Berlin. It's perfect for passionate, hands-on learners who love experimenting with design, materials, and real-world projects, building a global career from day one.
Curriculum structure
Year 1 lays a solid groundwork where you'll dive into basic design skills, mastering material and interior construction fundamentals to understand how spaces come together structurally. You'll also build visualization skills through hands-on drawing and modeling, while exploring the historical framework of interiors to inspire your creativity and give context to modern design challenges.
Year 2 ramps up with deeper dives into construction knowledge, letting you tackle complex builds with confidence, alongside exciting interior design projects that simulate real client work. You'll learn essential building services and lighting techniques to make spaces functional and atmospheric, and reflect on interior architecture theory to sharpen your critical eye.
Year 3 brings it all together through an interdisciplinary design project, teaming up with students from other programs to solve a real client's brief—pure excitement! You'll gain pro experience via an internship, boost your research skills for thesis-level thinking, then cap it off in the final semester with a personalized bachelor thesis and bachelor design project of your choice.
Focus areas: Project-based learning on spatial-user relationships, sustainable solutions, experimental interiors, and adapting to cultural shifts in Berlin's vibrant scene.
Learning outcomes: You'll conceptualize, plan, and realize interiors; communicate ideas across cultures; and apply creative, responsible designs for changing living conditions.
Professional alignment (accreditation): State-approved by German authorities; pairs well with Chamber of Architects registration for protected "Interior Architect" title in Germany (post-grad practice required).
Reputation (employability rankings): BI's architecture programs, including BA Interior Architecture/Interior Design, earned top marks in the prestigious CHE Ranking for design, construction, and international appeal—setting you up for careers in interior architecture, exhibition design, and beyond.
