Ques. How is B.Des (Interior Design) at MUJ different from B.Arch?
Ans. B.Des (Interior Design) focuses on the design and aesthetics of interior spaces - furniture, lighting, materials, spatial planning, and user experience within built environments. B.Arch (Bachelor of Architecture) is a 5-year program that covers the entire design and construction of buildings, including structural systems, urban planning, and building codes. B.Des (Interior Design) is a 4-year program and does not qualify graduates to sign off on structural drawings, whereas B.Arch graduates are registered architects. Students interested specifically in interior spaces and design aesthetics should opt for B.Des (Interior Design).
