KLC Diploma validated by the University of Brighton

KLC students graduating from both the Full-Time and Blended Learning Diploma in Interior Design receive a KLC Diploma in Interior Design validated by the University of Brighton.

• The Diploma Award is clearly benchmarked against the QAA HE Level Framework with 120 credits at Level 5 giving it international recognition, thereby increasing employment opportunities worldwide.
• Students gain credit points that can be transferred to other courses nationally and internationally.
• This external validation enables KLC to continue to operate as a Highly Trusted Sponsor and issue study visas to overseas students for successful applicants on the Full-Time Diploma in Interior Design.
• Graduates of the Diploma, who also have a prior degree qualification, can opt to study further and apply for an MA programme through the University of Brighton or elsewhere.
• KLC students are able to visit the University libraries and attend open research seminars at the University.

The University of Brighton has long been established as a centre of excellence for art and design studies and we look forward to developing our partnership with them further.
