School Environment
As the UK’s pre-eminent school for interior and garden design, Inchbald limits places on courses and teaches in small groups, so that we can focus on the individual talents and perspectives of our students, preparing you for life in professional practice.
Attend our
Annual Events
Throughout the year, Inchbald hosts a diverse programme of events that enrich the student experience, strengthen our professional community and celebrate excellence in design. From exhibitions and industry talks to networking events, alumni gatherings and special lectures, our calendar brings together students, graduates, tutors and leading figures from the worlds of interior and garden design. Some events are longstanding annual traditions, while others are curated to complement the academic programme or respond to current developments in the design profession. These occasions provide invaluable opportunities to learn from industry leaders, exchange ideas, expand professional networks and become part of the wider Inchbald community. Unless otherwise stated, events are open to current students and alumni, subject to availability.

Work Placements
Exposure to the professional arena is a regular part of many courses at Inchbald. We aim to help you experience the design world while you are studying with us so that you can contextualise the role of the designer. Academic staff will be happy to talk about work experience and make connections with the profession.
Next steps
From Inchbald to Industry
For more than six decades, Inchbald has built enduring relationships with many of the world's leading interior and garden design practices. These close professional connections provide students and graduates with access to valuable work placements, employment opportunities and industry networks, helping them make the transition from education to professional practice. Many of our graduates go on to establish successful studios of their own, while others join internationally recognised design practices, continuing Inchbald's tradition of producing confident, creative and highly employable designers.
