Bachelor of Design - Study Spatial Design - Te Tohu Paetahi mo te Hoahoa

Spatial designers create places for people to live, work, play and imagine. Study the Spatial Design major to prepare for a career designing interiors, furniture, exhibitions, events, outdoor spaces, retail environments, scenes for stage and film, and art installations.

As a spatial design student, you unlock the potential of places by designing spatial environments that support, influence, and transform how we live now and into the future. You'll learn from an expert team who has been teaching spatial and interior designers for nearly forty years.

In our studios, you'll work on design briefs across the field of spatial design. We encourage you to find your own voice and respond imaginatively to your place in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland. You test and evolve your ideas through drawings, models, digital simulations and hands-on prototypes, and work with community and industry partners.
