This master's degree is designed for designers who want to explore the relationship between bodies and space at a fundamental level, training students to become spatial researchers with their own artistic perspective. The program suits a curious, critical mindset, bringing together creating, thinking, and researching as inseparably linked activities within a dynamic studio environment.

From the outset, students develop their own research questions, learning to combine research through making, creative thinking, and theoretical research using a wide range of methods, materials, and media. There is significant room for interdisciplinary collaboration with fields such as anthropology, choreography, and cartography, allowing students to develop new, innovative perspectives on the relationship between bodies and space while engaging directly with current social issues relevant to the field of interior architecture.

In the first year, students explore theory and research through creative practice, learning research methods and interdisciplinary approaches while working on a theoretical research question that they develop into a full research proposal by the second semester; a shared case study allows students to explore the relationship between power, space, and bodies together with their peers. In the second year, these elements come together in an independent graduation project and accompanying thesis, through which students demonstrate their ability to work independently as spatial thinkers, creators, and researchers, approaching their work critically, experimentally, and with strong awareness of social context.

Students become part of a small-scale, international learning community, working closely with peers, lecturers, artists, counselors, and researchers from diverse backgrounds, an environment that reflects the cooperative, cross-cultural nature of the international design industry and encourages learning through shared dialogue and differing perspectives.

Applicants must already hold a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as interior architecture, spatial design, architecture, or another related discipline. After applying through the national registration system, applicants upload examples of their work as part of the application and are subsequently invited to an admission interview, held either on site or online.

This doctoral program is organized around two main directions of research: traditional theoretical, text-based research and experimental design-based research, with the latter further divided into creative practice research and research by design. Doctoral candidates work within domains spanning urban studies, planning, urban design, architecture, interior architecture, and landscape architecture, with the program aiming to develop and critically reflect on the creation, histories, theories, and philosophy underlying these fields.

The program's core aims include generating new professional knowledge that connects spatial issues to broader contemporary societal problems, developing and introducing new skills, knowledge, and professional competencies that advance sustainable environmental development, and building the capacity to collaborate with researchers from other fields. Doctoral candidates are also expected to develop existing methods and create new strategies for research in spatial matters, while taking part in international cooperation among researchers and creative professionals working on questions of space. Overall, the program aims to cultivate research that is creative, contemporary, sustainable, innovative, interdisciplinary, and international in character.

Candidates have the opportunity to pursue a joint doctoral degree through a cotutelle agreement with a partner institution abroad, enrolling in both schools and benefiting from joint supervision through a shared practice research seminar system; successful candidates qualify for a doctoral degree at both institutions upon completion. The typical duration of the program is four years.

Applicants must hold a master's degree or another qualification recognized as providing access to doctoral-level study in Estonia, along with English proficiency at the B2 level; qualifications obtained abroad are assessed and recognized through the Estonian ENIC/NARIC Centre. The application includes copies of the applicant's bachelor's and master's degree certificates and academic transcripts, together with certified translations where needed, an English proficiency certificate, and a copy of a passport or ID.

Applicants must also submit a CV, a motivation letter specifying which doctoral position or track they are applying for, and a proposal for their doctoral thesis. A portfolio is required for applicants pursuing an artistic or practice-based doctoral thesis, while a defended master's thesis is considered sufficient supporting material for those pursuing a text-based doctoral thesis. Applicants are not required to have identified a supervisor in advance, though if they have one, the supervisor's academic CV may be included, along with their name and contact details in the thesis proposal.

Admission is decided through an individual interview of approximately twenty minutes, evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 based on the interview together with the applicant's portfolio and thesis proposal, assessing the adequacy of the submitted materials and the applicant's readiness to undertake doctoral study. The final score weighs the doctoral thesis proposal most heavily, followed by the level of the applicant's creative work, and finally their professional competence and motivation.

This is a three-year, full-time program that offers comprehensive training in interior and exhibition design. Students choose a main studio and two supplementary studios from a wide selection, allowing for personalized and diverse learning paths. The curriculum combines studio work with theoretical courses, humanities, and software training, supported by drawing and fine arts classes. The program emphasizes both creative expression and professional readiness, preparing students to become responsible, critically-minded interior and exhibition designers capable of balancing tradition with innovation.

To apply for this program, candidates must submit an application form with a photo, a cover letter, a legalized or apostilled and translated high school certificate, and a portfolio with a motivation letter. An English language certificate (e.g., IELTS 5+, TOEFL 60+, FCE, CAE) is required unless the applicant comes from an English-speaking country or has completed studies taught in English—supported by a diploma confirming the language of instruction. Proof of health insurance for the full academic year in Poland or a statement of intent to obtain it upon arrival is also required, along with confirmation of the enrollment fee payment.
