Bachelor
When choosing Interior Design, taught at our campus Sint-Lukas Brussels and our campus Sint-Lucas Ghent, you'll be challenged to immerse yourself in spatial design as a whole.
Curriculum
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).

Discover LUCA’s workshops
In the LUCAconstruct workshops you work with an extensive range of machinery for wood and metalworking. Together with the workshop technicians, you refine your ideas, choose the right materials and techniques, and translate your design into a physical object — from sculptures, installations and furniture to stage sets.
The workshops offers plenty of room for experimentation, with access to machines, tools and materials. You can also work with 3D printers, laser cutters and vacuum forming machines. Whether you want to design a sculpture, build an installation or develop prototypes, this workshop provides the technical and practical support for your project.
As a LUCA student, you have access to every workshop across all LUCA campuses.

Quality is LUCA’s driving force
If the fundamental attitude of the policy plan implies that ‘quality is our driving force’, and that every aspect of the policy can be assessed against this, then LUCA undeniably aims to build and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and aimed at valuing, inspiring, and improving.
The formal quality framework for study programmes within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Study Programmes with Peers in Self-Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality assurance that stems from trust and is aimed at valuing, inspiring, and improving.
During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each study programme receives a panel of critical friends who review the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the programme contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The culmination of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of programme quality. The core question here is: "does the study program have a good quality culture that follows the ‘plan-do-check-act’ cycle?"
LUCA publishes a quality sheet for every study program. You can find this on the 'Quality Assurance' page.
