Presentation
The Postgraduate Course in Interior Design (PGID) at IPVC provides advanced training in the area of design, more specifically, interior design, and consists of multidisciplinary training that is markedly practical in nature, capable of coordinating academic knowledge and the labour market through a teaching model common to the teaching staff and the different areas at IPVC and professionals and companies specialising in the area of production/construction of interior spaces.
The resulting teaching model, according to the principles of the studio/office environment, is based on presenting the students with simulations, reproducing real cases, or the definition of new situations, giving rising to the combination of synergies from different areas through multidisciplinary approaches.
The curricular structure seeks to provide students with specific expertise and skills in order to work in the area of training, exploring diversity in the approach to the different types of spaces, using appropriate methodologies and using work instruments suited to the different types of projects, as well as the new technologies and resources that are now available to professionals in the sector.
Apart from specialisation, the Postgraduate Course in Interior Design aims to provide retraining for professionals already working in the area.
The training proposal also seeks to provide the business fabric specific to the region with the possibility of hiring specialised officers or retraining their own staff.

Entry Requirements
As the Interior Design course provides specialised training in the design area, it requires transversal skills from different areas of knowledge. It is therefore open to participation by trainees from areas as different as:
- Interior / Environment Design
- Product / Industrial Design
- Graphic Design / Communication
- Architecture
- Civil Engineering
- Other creative areas
- Candidates who do not have the appropriate higher education as described above, but that have relevant experience in the training area or in related areas.

Goals
The aims of the Postgraduate Course in Interior Design are based on the following assumptions:
Skills:
- Training specialised professionals that are aware of the reality and the specificities inherent to the design and development of solutions for new spaces or remodelling and/or restoring existing indoor spaces.
- Learning skills in the area of the project methodologies and the tools for developing solutions in the area of interior design (living spaces, commercial, industrial, religious, healthcare areas etc., public or private, for individual or collective use).
- Providing experiences arising from the involvement of entities and specialists from a wide variety of areas complementary to interior design.
Training:
- Understanding the different needs and the varied ways for spaces to be suited to their users.
- Anticipating scenarios and proposing differentiated solutions or solutions with new perspectives on the relevance of the design and/or remodelling of indoor areas in order to provide people with better living conditions.
- Developing proposals capable of responding to the needs of users, people and contemporary societies, as well as companies producing and building indoor areas, and other entities.
Partnerships:
- Developing close relationships and partnerships with industries and entities related to the specific training area.
- Creating conditions for the different areas of knowledge applied in the scope of the project to coexist.
- Defining training guidelines aimed at the territorial reality and the partner entities involved in the projects.
- Participation of professionals with experience in the training area.
Professional outcomes
The Interior Design course provides students with training for a professional career as a designer specialising in the design and development of solutions for indoor areas, capable of intervening in the (re)definition (layout of the spaces) and the objects and/or the equipment they contain.
Their integration into the labour market could be through employment in specialised offices, specialised production/construction companies or specialised consultancy firms.
The Interior Design course provides the students with the skills they need to work independently in the performance of their duties in the training area as self-employed professionals.
