Bachelor’s Degree in Design with a specialization in Interior Design

At ESDi School of Design, our Bachelor in Interior Design dives deep into hands-on, project-based learning right from the start, where you'll build real-world skills by designing spaces, experimenting with prototypes and scale models, and tackling everything from residential layouts to smart environments. You'll have access to our massive 18,000 m² campus in Sabadell's historic Docks Vells building, packed with specialized workshops, labs, and tools that let you prototype, cut, print, and collaborate all under one roof—making it easy to turn ideas into tangible designs. This setup isn't just convenient; it's designed for multidisciplinary teamwork with pros from partner companies, giving you that edge employers love.

Here's how our experiential learning comes alive for Interior Design students, with facilities and projects tailored to your specialization:

- Project-based courses like Interior Design Projects I-V, Ephemeral Projects, and Cross-cutting Projects, where you create real spaces from residential to commercial, scenography, and exhibitions using aesthetic, functional, and sustainable approaches.
- Digital tools and software including AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3Ds Max, V-Ray for 3D modeling, rendering, and advanced graphic representation, plus Digital Interior Design Tools I & II.
- Prototyping labs such as 3D Printing Lab, Laser Cutting Workshop, Product Workshops A & B (shared with interiors), Metal and Painting Workshop, and Digital Fabrication Labs (2) for building models, prototypes, and experimenting with materials.
- Mandatory company internships as part of the curriculum, plus optional extracurricular ones, to apply your skills in professional settings.
- Sustainability and tech-focused work in courses like Energy, Sustainability and Comfort, Lighting and Acoustics, and Design of Smart Spaces, integrating new technologies into projects.
- Multidisciplinary spaces including Project Classrooms, Computer Labs (5), and Open Classroom for group collaboration on rehab projects, outdoor spaces, and immersive virtual environments.
- Supporting resources like the Color Lab, Biblioteca (library), and Research and Transfer courses for deeper experimentation and innovation.

Why Interior Design at ESDI is Your Gateway to Real-World Design Practice

The Interior Design specialization at ESDI transforms how you learn—by doing. From day one, you're not just studying design theory in lecture halls; you're actively creating spaces, experimenting with materials, and solving real design challenges in a professional environment. Throughout the four-year program, you'll develop mastery of materials, construction techniques, and advanced digital tools while working on progressively complex projects that mirror what you'll face in your design career.

ESDI's approach centers on project-based learning, meaning you'll spend considerable time in specialized workshops and labs where you can prototype your ideas, test materials, and refine your designs before presenting them to professionals. The school provides an integrated creative ecosystem where everything you need is in one place—no commuting between buildings, no fragmented learning. This concentration of resources means you're constantly collaborating across disciplines and engaging with industry-standard practices:

Specialized facilities and tools designed for interior designers:

- 5 Computer labs equipped for digital design work across the campus
- Digital interior design software including AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3Ds Max, and V-Ray—the industry standards you'll use in your career
- 3D Printing Lab and Digital Fabrication Labs where you can transform digital models into physical prototypes
- Laser Cutting Workshop for precision work on materials and samples
- Metal and Painting Workshop for experimentation with finishes and textures
- Color Lab dedicated to exploring color theory and material combinations
- Video and Photography Studios for professional documentation of your design work
- Materials and Textile Warehouse providing access to samples and resources for informed material selection
- Biblioteca (Library) for research and reference materials
- Project Classrooms specifically designed for collaborative design work

Core learning experiences embedded in the curriculum:

- Five dedicated Interior Design Project courses (Projects I through V) that build progressively in complexity, from foundational spatial thinking to advanced professional-level work
- Materials and Technology coursework (two levels) focused on construction techniques, rehabilitation processes, and sustainable material selection
- Lighting and Acoustics course teaching environmental comfort design—a specialized skill that separates competent designers from exceptional ones
- Models and Prototypes course where you develop physical and scale models to test spatial concepts before full-scale implementation
- Ephemeral Projects course teaching you to design temporary installations, exhibitions, and event spaces—a growing market in contemporary design
- Energy, Sustainability and Comfort course addressing modern design demands around environmental responsibility and user wellness

Real-world project focus areas:

You'll tackle authentic design briefs across multiple sectors: residential spaces and sustainable housing, office and coworking environments, commercial retail and hospitality design, scenography for performing arts, lighting design, rehabilitation of existing spaces, art installations, and interactive smart spaces. This variety ensures you graduate with a portfolio addressing different client needs and design contexts.

Professional preparation:

- Mandatory company internships built into your curriculum—not optional add-ons, but required experiences where you work alongside established designers in real studios and firms
- Final Degree Project workshop in interior design, your capstone experience that synthesizes everything you've learned into a professional-quality project
- Cross-cutting projects emphasizing multidisciplinary collaboration, preparing you to work with architects, product designers, and other specialists
- Research and Transfer component connecting academic learning to industry innovation

The environment itself:

ESDI's campus occupies over 12,000 m² in Sabadell's historic Docks Vells—a converted early 20th-century textile warehouse with industrial character. This authentic creative space fosters the kind of hands-on, innovative thinking that design requires. You're learning in an environment that understands craft, materials, and the relationship between space and function.

The degree awards 240 ECTS credits across four academic years (September to June), with instruction available in Spanish, Catalan, and English, giving you language flexibility for your studies. With 150 places available and the next application call in September 2026, now is the time to position yourself for a career where you'll design spaces people actually inhabit and experience every day.
