Interior Design

Each course syllabus has a good portion of theoretical modules taught in classroom lectures, but the Interior Design syllabus is heavier on theory as it includes knowledge of architectural history, building codes, and structural engineering principles, while the Fashion Design syllabus has a strong bent towards practical applications for garment construction and styling.

No doubt you will study about the history of fashion, traditional and modern fashion designing, and other trends in the Fashion Design course syllabus; the focus would be more on its practical, hands-on applications.

Generally speaking, both the Fashion Design and Interior Design syllabi lay a lot of emphasis on creative expression and vision, but the Fashion Design syllabus focuses more on creativity for experimenting and innovating new clothing style statements and accessories, while the Interior Design syllabus teaches you more about the functionality and aesthetic aspects important for designing interior spaces.
