Master of Interior Architecture

The Master of Interior Architecture at Victoria University of Wellington is a 240-point postgraduate programme completed over two years of full-time study. It is designed for students who want to specialise in the architectural design of interior environments and explore how materials, people, space, technology, culture, and design work together. The programme combines advanced coursework with significant independent research, allowing students to investigate how interior spaces can influence wellbeing, comfort, identity, movement, and the way people experience places where they live, work, learn, and socialise. For Nepali students planning to study Interior Architecture in New Zealand, a distinctive feature of this programme is its design-led research approach, which combines taught courses with a self-directed research thesis or portfolio. Students can explore interior architecture through social, cultural, ecological, technological, historical, and contemporary perspectives while developing their own creative design direction.
