Learning outcomes

1. The Bachelors possess knowledge of and insight into design processes and methodologies and apply them appropriately, in function of a coherent vision regarding a design problem.

2. The Bachelors interpret the contexts and preconditions of a design problem.

3. The Bachelors develop creative and innovative concepts into a sustainable design at various scale levels.

4. The Bachelors create an atmosphere (coherence between form, color, material, light, air, acoustics) in accordance with the design problem to be solved, so that the design ‘moves’ and/or evokes an aesthetic sensation.

5. The Bachelors create comfort and coziness in function of well-being within the design, tailored to man.

6. The Bachelors have insight into research methods and apply various design methods appropriately, in function of a design problem.

7. The Bachelors use relevant academic, discipline-specific, or inter-/transdisciplinary information judiciously in the design.

8. The Bachelors develop various research strategies to deal with diverse/complex research questions.

9. The Bachelors reason, reflect and communicate critically, and develop an attitude of lifelong learning.

10. Under supervision, the Bachelors build a well-argued oral and written academic discourse and defend a position in a debate about/within the interior discipline. They critically discuss and evaluate interiors.

11. The Bachelors understand the relationship between structural work and finishing and the interactions between different building parts, over time and viewed from the perspective of changing wishes and requirements.

12. The Bachelors make an interior or object design feasible according to building physics and technical requirements, health and safety regulations, and within budgetary frameworks.

13. The Bachelors master the principles of sustainable and change-oriented building.

14. The Bachelors analyze the ecological impact of products, materials, techniques and constructions and, based on this, make targeted choices to integrate these into the design.

15. The Bachelors master the history and theory of the interior and the (trans)discipline of interior architecture.

16. The Bachelors analyze the relationship between man and space (immediate living environment) and the supporting theoretical frameworks.

17. The Bachelors create frameworks for design issues based on challenges and evolutions in (inter)national, societal, and cultural contexts, and evaluate design cases against the established frameworks.

18. The Bachelors develop academic visions on interior architecture and insights into the evolving roles of the interior architect.

19. The Bachelors collaborate, organize, take responsibility, see opportunities, and are able to seize them.

20. The Bachelors have insight into ethical and deontological, legal, financial, commercial, and organizational aspects of professional practices.

21. The Bachelors master digital and analog tools and techniques and apply them technically, experimentally, and artistically during theoretical and design-based interior research specific to the future professional practices of the interior architect.

22. The Bachelors use words and images appropriately to critically reflect and strategically communicate about design processes, results, and research.
