Interior Design
An Interior Design degree focused on real projects. You learn by designing residential, commercial, temporary and retail spaces, with briefs from real studios and companies from the very first year. You graduate with an official degree validated by SIUCAN and the option to continue with a Top-Up at LMU.
An Interior Design degree you learn by designing
The Degree in Interior Design at CESINE isn’t theory with notes and scale models. It’s a degree where, from first year, you work with real briefs: a home to refurbish, a commercial unit to reinvent, a stand to produce. You learn to read a space, defend a proposal and deliver a project that works on site. And you do it in small cohorts, with lecturers who correct your plans on Friday and are signing off their own at a studio on Monday.
Interior Design studies connected to the profession
Interior Design studies at CESINE are designed so that you graduate with a portfolio. Four years to understand the craft from the inside: surveying, materials, regulations, professional software (AutoCAD, SketchUp, V-Ray, 3ds Max), visual communication and site management. It’s not a degree of sketches: it’s a degree of deliverable projects.
This qualification is officially equivalent to a University Degree
Awarded by the Government of Cantabria’s Regional Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Tourism and validated by SIUCAN, this qualification gives you access to job openings at public institutions and private companies, as well as to official master’s and doctoral programmes. It carries 240 ECTS credits recognised in the European Higher Education Area, making academic and professional mobility across Europe easier.
Who is this degree for?
The Degree in Interior Design at CESINE is designed for very specific profiles. If you recognise yourself in any of them, let’s talk.
- Students who have completed Bachillerato (or equivalent) or a related Higher Vocational Training qualification (FP de Grado Superior)
- People with a real interest in spatial design: architecture, interior design, retail, set design, furniture
- Profiles who prefer learning by doing, not just by listening

Work placements at companies and studios
Curricular and extracurricular. Every placement comes with individual tutoring. Some of our partners:
At CESINE we understand that studying for a degree is an investment. That’s why we support you with that part too: motivation scholarships, financing through partner institutions and tailored payment plans. The admissions team reviews your case individually.
If you already hold a Higher National Diploma (FP de Grado Superior) or a degree and you’re missing the upgrade that opens international doors, Top-Up degrees are your fastest route. One academic year. Official British qualification. Recognised across Europe.
