SGT University B.Des FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between B.Des Interior & Furniture Design and B.Arch at SGT University? Which is better for someone interested in interior design?
Ans. B.Des in Interior and Furniture Design and B.Arch are distinct programmes. B.Arch is a 5-year programme focused on architectural design, structural systems, and building construction, regulated by the Council of Architecture. B.Des in Interior and Furniture Design is a 4-year programme focused on interior space planning, furniture design, aesthetics, and materials, without the structural engineering component. For students specifically interested in interior design, space planning, and furniture creation, B.Des is the more focused and practical choice. B.Arch is better suited for those who want to design entire buildings and structures.
Ques. What software skills will I gain during the B.Des Interior & Furniture Design programme at SGT University?
Ans. The programme provides hands-on training in industry-standard design software including AutoCAD (for technical drawings and floor plans), SketchUp (for 3D modelling), Rhino (for complex surface modelling), Adobe Creative Suite (for presentations and visualisations), V-Ray (for photorealistic rendering), and Lumion (for architectural visualisation and walkthroughs). These tools are widely used by professional interior designers and furniture designers, making graduates job-ready from day one.
