1 WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION TO THE SCHOOL
Welcome to the School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering (ACE) at the University of East London.
We are dedicated to supporting our students in their studies and offer a wealth of knowledge, innovation and
experience that provides students with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and understanding of their
chosen field.
The School provides a dynamic and stimulating environment in which to study inspiring and creative subjects.
ACE aims to be the leading provider of employable graduates in the country through introducing the latest
pedagogical concepts, novel learning and teaching methods, and practice-based research of relevance to the
local and regional cultural community.
The rich diversity of cultures, life experience and backgrounds of East London is reflected in those of our
London-based students who have chosen to study at UEL. They are together on campus with many
2international students from around the World. In order to respond appropriately and sensitively to any issues
relating to diversity, UEL has an Equality and Diversity Strategy which can be found at:
http://dl-cfs 01.uel.ac.uk/hrservices/documents/emhandbook/generalpolicies.pdf
We want you to be able to make the most of your time with us here at UEL, properly and fully supported at
every step.
In January 2015, we launched two brand new Student Centres, at our Docklands and Stratford campuses, with
state-of-the-art technology and a new ‘One Stop Shop’ for all your queries. We will be able to offer you the full
range of services, including helpdesk services, a dedicated telephone service and webmail facility. These will
be delivered by fully trained Student Support staff, able to help you quickly and effectively with any general
questions and provide you with support and guidance immediately.
The new Student Centres will have better social spaces too, for you to meet friends, eat, drink, study and relax,
so you’ll be able to spend your time doing the things you really want to do. The new Centres will be your place
at UEL, the heart of your student life.
2 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAMME
This handbook is intended for all students taking the MA Interior Design. You will find it a useful source of
information at the start of your programme but you should also keep it for reference purposes throughout your
time here. It is, however, not intended to provide all you need to know, so you should also read the ‘Essential
Guide For Students’ booklet, ‘The Student Charter’, and the School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering
Guide For Students handbook.
The University is staffed by a team of enthusiastic and caring professionals, both teaching and support staff,
and we will work hard to make your educational experience a successful one. If you can match this by
participating fully and giving your best, then I am sure that your time at the University of East London and within
the School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering will be both enjoyable and rewarding.
A Postgraduate Masters course differs from undergraduate studies in that you are expected to work much more
independently. We will meet two or three times a week. In between the scheduled teaching activities,
however, you need to work intensely and research independently. We will not spoon-feed you, but we will
guide you and support you. We will issue regular briefs and requests for coursework to help you meet the final
learning outcomes and aims required in order to be awarded your MA degree. It is therefore important that you
undertake the tasks we ask of you, even if you find them difficult and may have never done them before. You
learn by doing.
3. STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMME
The MA Interior Design is a full-time programme. This means that is expected from you to devote the equivalent
amount of time that you would devote to a full-time job.
This programme is designed to give you the opportunity to:
• Enhance your ability to grasp complex design ideas and to engage in creative and experimental processes.
• Develop an in-depth understanding of the contemporary discourse on Interior Design.
• Engage in advanced design abilities.
• Represent and communicate ideas.
• Develop a professional ethos and attitude.
• Contextualise design; develop the ability to understand the links between design and other cultural and
everyday phenomena.
The 12-month programme is organised into three terms: (1) Sept – Dec., (2) Jan. – May, (3) June – Sept.
Module AR7030 is taught over term 1 and 2.
Module AR7031 is taught over term 3.
Module AR7032 is taught over term 1.
Module AR7033 is taught over term 2.
The main aim of Module 1 is to allow students to experiment through a number of different brief exercises, and
then consolidate their skills through an advanced design project.
3The main aim of Module 2 is to allow the students to specialise on a topic of their choice. The coursework that
they complete may have the form of a research thesis, a design-driven thesis, or a professional practice
advanced thesis.

KEY STAFF; CONTACT DETAILS AND STAFF ROLES
Support While You Study
Following a higher education programme inevitably takes a number of years and many things will happen to you
during the time you are studying. Some events are predictable, but others are unexpected. Some are relatively
insignificant, but others can seriously affect your studies.
The School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering strives for excellence in student support. You will
always be able to find a sympathetic person who will try to help you if at all possible.
Obviously it would take a very special kind of person to be able to sort out every different type of problem that
might arise. The most important thing is to find the RIGHT person to help you. The first person to contact in
many cases will be your Programme Leader. Even if they are not the “best” person to solve your problem they
will know someone who is!
Programme Leader: Dr Anastasia Karandinou
Your Programme Leader will be able to advise you on general matters about the programme you are following.
If you have a problem with a particular module, and have not been able to resolve it by talking to the Module
Leader, you should bring the matter to the Programme Leader.
Programme Leaders are responsible for liaison with Programme Representatives for the year. They also have
other duties, which vary from year-to-year and are often connected with quality improvement projects.
4Module Leaders and personal tutors:
Module Leaders are responsible for the delivery of their module. They co-ordinate the team of tutors who are
available to you during tutorials and practical sessions.
As far as possible any problems or questions concerning individual modules should be addressed to the Module
Leader. In most cases this can be done within seminars, workshops or practical sessions. Occasionally, it may
be necessary to speak to the tutor outside these times. General academic advice can also be obtained from
Personal Tutors.
UEL ensures the pastoral care of its students through a system of Personal Tutors. Therefore, if you have a
problem of any kind your Personal Tutor is the person to whom you should go in the first instance. Your
Personal Tutor may be able to help you or will be able to point you in the right direction.
Every student is allocated a Personal Tutor within the first two weeks of their arrival at the University. This is a
member of academic staff who you can go to, individually, for general guidance and advice. Personal Tutors
may discuss key choices (e.g. subject choices or research paths) and review your progress. If you are unsure
as to who your personal tutor is, please contact the programme leader.
Personal Tutors will arrange meetings with their tutees; no less than four meetings should be scheduled during
the year.

New regulations
The University’s academic regulations are available at:
Academic Framework Regulations
http://www.uel.ac.uk/wwwmedia/internal/qa/policies/Academic-Framework---Assessment-Regulations-
Section-3-updated-June-2014.doc
The Importance of Attendance
You have made a commitment to work towards achieving academic success by enrolling on your programme
and registering on your modules. We know, as you do, that in order to achieve ultimate success in your studies
it is important that you participate in, and engage fully with, all your scheduled activities such as lectures,
workshops and seminars. We therefore regard attendance as essential, as we are sure you will.
6Punctuality is also crucial (if you turn up late you may find you will not be allowed to enter – late attendance
causes disruption for others). Other aspects of behaviour are important as well – for instance, no food or drink
should be consumed in lectures or classes and all mobile phones should be turned off.
Recording Attendance
We are obliged to keep records of your attendance. For all teaching activities specified by your School
(lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars, etc.) a record will be kept. You must ensure that you can demonstrate
your attendance through this recording process by swiping in to booked venues. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your presence at each seminar/tutorial/workshop is noted.
If you cannot attend
If you cannot attend you should let us know, either beforehand or as soon as possible afterwards. You should
notify your Programme Administrator. You should give your name, student number and the class for which you
were unable to attend.
If you do not attend regularly
If you do not attend regularly or do not keep us informed of occasional non-attendance you will find that the
School will contact you to discuss the matter with you. It is important that you take this communication seriously
and make contact immediately.
If you attend regularly
If you attend regularly you will get the most out of your studies, you will maximise your chances of success, and
you will find the relationships you build up in classes support you in your achievements. If you need to inform
UEL about any changes to your address or contact details, please visit the Student Hub on the Ground Floor of
the East Building, or go online to UEL Direct.
5 TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT
How we monitor the quality of this programme
The quality of this programme is monitored each year through evaluating:
external examiner reports (considering quality and standards);
statistical information (considering issues such as the pass rate);
student feedback.
Drawing on this and other information, course teams undertake the annual Review and Enhancement Process
which is coordinated at School level and includes student participation. The process is monitored by the Quality
Committee.
Once every six years an in-depth review of the whole field is undertaken by a panel that includes at least two
external subject specialists. The panel considers documents, looks at student work, speaks to current and
former students and speaks to staff before drawing its conclusions. The result is a report highlighting good
practice and identifying areas where action is needed.
Assessment Regulations
The assessment of each module will be based on a portfolio submission. Through the portfolio the student will
provide evidence that the learning outcomes have been met.
By the term portfolio here we mean a body of work, which includes a range of different elements, such as visual
material, short essays, evidence of the student’s involvement in learning activities, etc.
The portfolio will present both the process and the final outcome of the students’ work, and will include
drawings, visualisations, photos of models and other visual and written material. The portfolio will also include
visual evidence of the student’s participation in the required learning activities, such as presentations, making
workshops, field trips, online discussions/platforms, etc. In this way, the portfolio will offer the tutors the
possibility to assess the student’s progress and effort at different stages of the project.
Students will be expected to complete specific exercises/coursework by given deadlines throughout the year.
Formative assessment will take place at the end of each exercise, and students will be given formative
7feedback. These distinct exercises or stages of a project will be included in the portfolio of the relevant module,
which will be assessed in a summative manner.
Students with disabilities and/or particular learning needs should discuss assessments with the Programme
Leader to ensure they are able to fully engage with all assessment within the programme.
Intellectual skills are assessed by
student performance in seminars, essays and the Thesis. Each of these is a learning, as well as an assessment
tool.
Practical skills are assessed by
workshop and design exercises.
Transferable skills are assessed through
student performance in essays and the dissertation, as well as in individual tutorials and dissertation seminars.

containing information on Academic Misconduct and Plagiarism.
The electronic version of “Cite Them Right: the essential referencing guide” 9th edition, can be accessed whilst
on or off campus, via UEL Direct. The book can only be read online and no part of it can be printed nor
downloaded.
Feedback from the double marking will follow usually within two weeks of submission, the external examiner
may then amend marks before the marks go to the Assessment and Award Boards.
Assessment and feedback are fundamental parts of the student learning experience, The UEL Assessment and
Feedback Policy can be found at: http://www.uel.ac.uk/qa/policies/assessmentpolicy
Details of the assessment criteria used for the modules can be found within the module specifications included
further down in this handbook.
Our Skills Curriculum is an entitlement for our students. It has been designed to ensure that students are
taught, have the opportunity to practice, and are assessed in Skills for: Academic Learning, Employability
(Professional Practice) and Research. Details can be found at: http://www.uel.ac.uk/qa/policies/skills/
The UEL Skills Portal has been designed to act as a single gateway to a whole range of skills support that will
help you progress through your studies. Details can be found at: http://www.uel.ac.uk/skills/introduction.htm
Research Integrity
The University of East London conducts high quality, innovative research and is guided by the principles and
standards outlined in The Concordat to Support Research Integrity 2012; the University’s Code of Practice for
Research policy; Code of Practice for Research Ethics; Procedure for the Investigation of Misconduct in
Research, for staff and students, and the UEL Research Strategy 2014-2017. The Concordat seeks to provide
a national framework for good research governance and its conduct. The Concordat applies to all fields of
research supporting a research environment that is underpinned by ethical values. The University adheres to its
responsibility to support and promote the highest standards of rigour and integrity and embed a culture of
honesty, transparency, care and respect for all participants and subjects of research. The University is
committed to ensuring that research is conducted with integrity and good research practices are upheld.
Research Ethics
The University through its researchers will ensure that any research involving human participants, human
material, or personal or sensitive data complies with all legal and ethical requirements and other applicable
guidelines. The University has established Research Ethics Committees at University and School level to
ensure appropriate ethical review of research projects involving human participation or personal data. The
8research study will require ethical approval from the University Research Ethics Committee (UREC), one of the
School Research Ethics Committees (SRECs) or where applicable, Collaborative Partner Research Ethics
Committees (CRECs). UREC reviews ethics applications from staff, MPhil, PhD, Post and Professional
Doctorates and Masters by research students. SRECs and CRECs consider applications from taught Masters
and undergraduate students.
All research involving human participation or human material will require formal approval from UREC, SREC or
CREC before the research commences. Students should submit research projects involving human
participants, human material or personal data for ethical review, by the appropriate University Research Ethics
Committee, and abide by the outcome of the review. The Ethics Committees ensure that appropriate
procedures for obtaining informed consent are observed, having particular regard to the needs and capacity of
the subjects involved. The dignity, rights, safety and well-being of participants must be the primary
consideration in any research study. Appropriate care must be taken when research projects involve:
vulnerable groups, such as elderly people, children or people with mental ill-health; and covert studies or other
forms of research which do not involve full disclosure to participants. The Research Ethics Committees also
ensure that such research projects have been submitted for approval to all applicable external bodies, ethical,
regulatory or otherwise.
Students who wish to conduct research in the NHS or Health and Social Care must apply to the NHS through
the Integrated Research Application System (IRAS). The on-line application for ethical approval will be
reviewed by a NHS or Social Care Research Ethics Committee. Students conducting studies under the
auspices of any of the UK Departments of Health and/or the NHS are required to submit copies of their NHS or
Social Care ethics approval letter and IRAS application form to the UREC Committee. UREC will grant consent
for the study and issue an approval and sponsorship letter for the research, on behalf of the University. The
University acts as a sponsor for NHS or Social Care approved research projects. Students should conduct their
studies in accordance with the conditions specified in the NHS or Social Care ethics approval letter.
Students should understand their responsibilities to conduct research to high ethical standards and be aware of
policies and procedures on good research practice. The University has established guidelines to preserve the
confidentiality and security of personal data, relating to human participants and human material involved in
research projects. Students must comply with the regulations of appropriate regulatory or statutory bodies and
any legal obligations when conducting or collaborating in, research in other countries. Students should also
observe the legal and ethical requirements existing in the UK and in the countries where the research will take
place. Students should ensure that they have fully prepared for their planned research, allowing enough time to
submit an application for ethical approval and obtain appropriate consent. It is advisable to seek guidance from
supervisors on proposed research projects.
No data collection or recruitment of human participants for the research study may commence until ethical
approval from UREC; SREC; CREC; or a NHS or Social Care Research Ethics Committee is confirmed.
Students may only use data where ethical approval has been obtained, and in accordance with the conditions
specified on the approval letter throughout the length of the study. Amendments to an approved research study
must be submitted to the relevant Research Ethics Committee and obtain ethical approval before any changes
to the project may be implemented. Ethical approval for research projects cannot be granted retrospectively.
Research conducted with human participants or human material, without ethical approval, is considered
misconduct in research and as such students may be subject to disciplinary proceedings.
If students consider that human participants in theirs, or others, research are subject to unreasonable risk or
harm, they must report the concerns to their supervisor and, where required, to the appropriate regulatory
authority. Similarly, concerns relating to the improper and/or unlicensed use or storage of human material, or
the improper use or storage of personal data, should also be reported.

Module Specification
Module Title: Module Code: AR7030 Module Leader:
XSXL - Interior Design Project: Dr Anastasia Karandinou
From Context to Detail Level: 7
Credit: 60
ECTS credit: 30
Pre-requisite: Pre-cursor:
Co-requisite: Excluded combinations :
Location of delivery: UEL
Main aim(s) of the module:
- To develop an in-depth understanding of the contemporary discourse on Interior Design.
- To develop advanced design skills.
- To develop the ability to design processes which will lead to innovative design.
- To develop a range of representational skills.
- To develop a professional ethos and attitude.
- To develop the ability to contextualise design; to develop the ability to understand the links between design and other
cultural and everyday phenomena.
Main topics of study:
- Advanced design principles and methods.
- Contemporary Interior Design.
- Representational methods and techniques.
- Specialised design projects. (For example: retail design/ home interiors design/ furniture design/ stage set design.)
- Through this module, students will engage in shorter projects in order to examine a concept or skill in depth, and in longer
projects, in order to combine and consolidate the knowledge and the skills developed. For some projects, the process will
simulate some of the key-stages of a ‘life’ professional interior design project. For parts of the project, the students will
work in groups and will address a brief as if it was a life project.
Specific themes of study may include:
- The new market era; from local to high-street, to e-commerce, and back to (g)local. The market place has always
been a place for social and cultural interaction. What is the role of the interior designer in the current changing
market-scene?
- The working environment of the future. How is the office space changing in the 21st century? How do new
technologies and media influence the way in which people work, meet and collaborate? People sometimes work
on trains, while commuting, at cafes, in communal hot-desking studios; how does design both inspire new modes
of working environments and respond to the current needs?
- Light design. Analysis of precedents, critical analysis of the design concept and of the relevant technical
specifications.
- New materials and technologies; how do they influence design?
- Interdisciplinary projects; why are they increasingly popular and what challenges do they entail?
- Art and Interior Design; how is one influencing the other and how art processes can lead to the generation of
innovative design concepts?
- Stage Set design. Interior Design in the theatre world.

9 STUDENT SUPPORT
www.uel.ac.uk/skillzone/
http://www.uel.ac.uk/skillzone/skillzoneguides/
Personal Tutoring - Guidance for Students
18To help you make the most of your studies, every student undertaking undergraduate or taught masters’
programmes at UEL is assigned a member of academic staff as their Personal Tutor (PT).
Your PT will support you to achieve the degree you want through group or individual meetings throughout the
year.
Why do you need a Personal Tutor?
Your PT is a key academic contact at the university, and is there to guide you so that you have the best possible
chance of succeeding in your studies. In order to do this your PT will invite you to attend a range of tutorials:
• If you are a new student at UEL, the first tutorial will take place either during induction week or the first week
of teaching and will be a face to face 1-2-1 or group meeting. You are required to attend this meeting.
• All students are invited to a meeting within the first 6 weeks of term 1 and then three additional meetings in
the academic year.
Your programme of study may be structured in such a way that these meetings take place during core
module teaching.
What are the benefits of having a Personal Tutor?
Having an academic member of staff oversee your general progress has many benefits, including:
• Supporting you to overcome the challenges you face, take advantage of the opportunities at UEL and to
become a confident learner in your academic subject area
• Managing the transition between levels of study
• Advising you on relevant academic, pastoral and career-related issues
• Encouraging you to play an active part in your academic community, whilst developing a sense of
belonging to UEL, your School and your programme cohort
• Encouraging reflection on your academic progress
• Signposting you to the right sources of support available at UEL
• Providing written references
What can you expect?
• Contact details for your PT as soon as you get here
• In term 1, you will be offered and expected to attend an initial meeting with your PT during induction or
the first week of term. This may be a group or 1-2-1 tutorial
• All students are then invited to attend three additional meetings with their PT spread over the academic
year.
• Your PT will be available to meet with you at other times during the academic year if you require further
support – you can arrange this by booking an individual appointment.
• Your PT may refer you to another service at UEL where you will be able to receive specialist support
e.g. relating to your finances, personal life or wellbeing.
What do we expect from you?
• Know the name and contact details of your PT
• Attend your scheduled tutorials, on time. If you are unable to do this, make sure you let your PT know in
advance (at least one day) and re-schedule
• Prepare for your tutorials e.g. draw up a list of items that you’d like to discuss
• Be thoughtful about how you use your tutorial time. Try to identify the issues you can resolve yourself by
using other support available to you such as; your handbook, online information and other student
support services. This way, you can use your tutorial for the things you really need help with
• Don’t wait until it’s too late – if you have an issue you can’t resolve yourself, speak to your PT straight
away. S/He will be able to offer guidance or point you in the right direction
• Take charge, take action – after your meeting, make sure you follow up on the action points agreed
during your tutorial and make full use of the additional support services you are signposted to.
• By accessing the support your PT can offer, you’ll have someone to guide you every step of the way, to
help you achieve success.
