The BS Interior Design program at the University of Central Punjab is a four-year, interdisciplinary undergraduate degree offered through the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering. It integrates creative interior design with construction technology, building materials, digital design, Building Information Modelling (BIM), artificial intelligence, sustainability, smart-building systems, cost estimation, project management and professional practice.
The program prepares students to convert a design concept into a coordinated, cost-effective and constructible interior environment. Studio-based learning, practical laboratories, digital visualization, industry engagement, field training and a comprehensive capstone project develop the creative, technical and managerial competence required for residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, retail, institutional and mixed-use projects.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The graduates of the BS Interior Design program will demonstrate the creative, technical, managerial, and professional competencies necessary to contribute effectively to the design and construction of interior built environments. The program aims to produce graduates who will:
PEO-1: Professional Excellence
Demonstrate competence in interior design, construction technology, digital design, and project delivery by planning, designing, coordinating, and managing interior construction projects that satisfy functional, aesthetic, technical, economic, and regulatory requirements.
PEO-2: Innovation and Digital Transformation
Apply creativity, critical thinking, and emerging digital technologies—including Building Information Modeling (BIM), artificial intelligence (AI), digital visualization, and smart building systems—to develop innovative, sustainable, and technology-enabled solutions for the built environment.
PEO-3: Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Professional Practice
Establish successful careers as interior designers, construction professionals, project managers, consultants, researchers, or entrepreneurs by demonstrating leadership, teamwork, effective communication, ethical conduct, and sound business practices in multidisciplinary environments.
PEO-4: Sustainable Development and Lifelong Learning
Promote sustainable, inclusive, healthy, and resilient interior environments while engaging in continuous professional development, lifelong learning, and responsible practices that contribute to society and the advancement of the built environment profession.
