Do I study interior design at Manchester metropolitan University?

Okay so I'm currently on my last year of a level 3 BTEC and am considering applying to MMU. But I've seen a lot of very bad reviews online saying the university is unorganised and that most people who have done the interior design course cannot find work. Apparently important skills such as sketchup and AutoCAD are not taught on this course.

However I'm skeptical as to whether to believe this since the university is well ranked for this course. Are there any current/former students who could help me out?

Hi there, I would recommend going for an open day to speak to current students or tutors to get an idea as to what the course is really like. Another option would be to message current students on social media to ask your questions about the course! Hope this helps! 😄

Hi! You can find information about what our course has to offer on our BA (Hons) Interior Design course page.

Like Kingston Reps mentioned, I recommend coming along to one of our open days to talk to tutors and students to see if it's the right course for you! Our next open day is 19th October and we have another one on 23rd November🙂

Hope this helps!

Hiya! I hope that you're well. I'm a Graphic Design student at Norwich University of the Arts and totally know how it feels to be stuck trying to decide on a Uni!

My top tip would be to request a prospectus from a variety of universities (I think I got about 12 even though I knew half of them I definitely wouldn't be applying for), this is a great way to be able to read about course content from a few different courses in a few different universities. You can find our prospectus here where you can request one for free. Alternatively, we have information on all of our courses here: Norwich Uni Arts courses.

Attending university open days can also help you to get a feel for each university and what it would be like to study there as well as meet current students. A list of our upcoming events can be found here: Norwich Uni Arts Open Days. I personally found that attending as many of these as possible really helped me out.

Good luck in choosing a course, I know it can be daunting. Happy to answer any questions.
