Don't waste any thought on the numerus clausus (NC), it is not important at IU. We deliberately do without it for most degree programmes because we want to put your talents and strengths in the foreground. This also means that you don't have to take into account the waiting semesters. There is also no nerve-racking selection process. Instead, we would like to talk to you personally. We can then work together to find the right course of study to realise your dreams for the future.

The Interior Design* curriculum clearly focuses on the design and drafting of creative spatial concepts. And thus also on your creativity. You will gain a lot of basic knowledge in the areas of architecture, design, layout and contract management. At the same time, you will train your spatial perception with many practical exercises and acquire presentation skills using photo, video and online tools. This includes, among other things, the editing and presentation of models in 2D or 3D with the help of analogue tools and digital solutions. After completing your studies, you can develop your very own, individual style on the basis of architectural sociological approaches and various design and planning methods. And thus you can play a decisive role in shaping spatial concepts of the future.
In the final semesters of your studies, you will take modules in your compulsory elective area, such as "Exhibiting and Staging", "Smart Building" and "Building Information Modelling". Your IU Studies in Interior Design are not only characterised by the content. In particular, the self-determined and flexible learning opportunities at the International University of Applied Sciences offer you many advantages.
With your Interior Design* studies, you have enough room for free development. You can choose the direction in which you would like to develop. For example, you can start out in a planning office, in industry or trade, or in shop design/scenography/trade fair construction/marketing.
