The B.Arch programme covers a wide area of knowledge about art and graphics, history of architecture, architectural design, architectural structures, surveying, computer applications, building construction materials, town planning as well as interior design. The full-time, five-year architecture programme includes six months of practical training at an approved professional firm or project site. You can specialise at the PG level in an area of your interest, such as interior design. Other specialisations include urban design, housing, conservation, landscape architecture etc. To specialise in interior design, you may take up an interior design project during your practical training. But you can practise as an interior designer after the B.Arch programme once you are able to build up work experience in the area. There are many PG-level programmes in interior design across the world, but in India, interior design is offered as a technical diploma. The institutes offering this specialisation at the Bachelor’s level include the centre for Environmental Planning and Technology, Ahmedabad, and School of Interior Design and Institute of Environmental Design, Vallabh Vidya Nagar, Gujarat.
