Interior Design in Brussels

Interior Design is a 3-year professionally oriented spatial design course. A thorough technical and cultural training goes hand in hand with a significant amount of practice based learning. The programme concentrates on interior design, installations, scenography, furniture design and object design.  Students are encouraged to develop their talents and interests and to thus find their place in the professional field of interior design. LUCA offers this programme in Ghent and Brussels. The course programme on both campuses is identical. Students from both campuses jointly take part in workshops and excursions.

By hands-on learning you'll discover which design methods and fields of activity suit you best. The singularity and identity of each student form the basis for becoming a (self)critical and authentic designer.

Programme for exchange students: Exchange students are welcome to join the programme in 3BA (first semester).              

After taking part in an interactive introduction week, students start the semester with the LUCA work placement programme (LUCA-Upstairs) which will run during the first few weeks. Luca-Upstairs is an internal professional agency in the center of Brussels. You'll focus on social and cultural (real-life) projects where you go in depth into these projects by exploring good practices, among other things. One example could be learning how to design for a vulnerable group of people or how to design a well-being space for various social groups.

Working together (in team) with real clients, partners and target groups is a challenge and an excellent learning process for your development, in which social service and sustainability are central!

After this intensive start, you continue your programme at the campus of your choice. Among other things, you’ll learn to develop a prototype based on an idea you designed earlier (furniture/ scenography/ object), you’ll learn to analyse and investigate a given context and actively participate in cultural visits (lectures, biennials, exhibitions, dance and music performances, guided tours or interior visits).
