MIARD is a nationally accredited two-year program with a focus on design-research, experimentation and critical strategies within the field of Interior Architecture and spatial practices. The program is multidisciplinary and designed to achieve the Final Competencies to earn a Master of Interior Architecture (MIA) degree. Dutch higher education degrees are internationally recognized.

It is accredited and reviewed by the NVAO (Nederlands-Vlaams Accreditatie Organisatie), the standard academic accreditation council for the Netherlands and the Flemish part of Belgium, and fully subsidised by the Dutch state.

Curriculum

Students actively engage in course modules that develop their skills, resources, and knowledge towards self-directed research. Curriculum modules are integrated and planned to support and critically engage with the subject and student interests, synthesizing research, innovation and professional expertise.

The curriculum is based on a multidisciplinary concept: three module threads provide the main framework:

1. Design Projects
2. Critical Strategies
3. Multiple Media

Over the course of the two-year program (120 ects) there are four Design Projects structured over four terms. In the last term, students work independently on their Graduation Project: Design and Thesis. All classes are taught in English.
