Students may study interior design at the Florence Design Academy in Italy.
Interior design allows professionals to not only create spaces in which people live and work, but also to explore the relations between a building's architecture and the ways in which people might use it. Europe boasts a number of interior-design programs for which English is the primary language of instruction --- a plus for students whose design sensibility is more European than American.
Florence Design Academy
Located in a center of the Italian Renaissance, the Florence Design Academy offers graduate-level courses in interior design. All classes are in English, though the school also offers Italian. From the beginning, students are taught to approach design using high-tech software, such as 3D Studio Max, Flash, Rhino 3D, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, Acrobat and InDesign. Classes begin each year in September and January.
