D. Tech. Interior Design / Work integrated learning at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is an integrated approach to teaching and learning for the attainment of qualifications. It specifically encourages and enhances learning partnerships between all role players, which include students, university staff and employers. The university perceives itself to be in partnership with commerce and industry in the development and delivery of high-level human resources who will uniquely contribute to the South African economy. It is important to acknowledge that the Interior Design management model for work integrated learning will in future form a division of the management practice at the TUT. The regular communication, exchange of information and asking for support in connection with a design problem or knowledge about a finishing material, between the Interior Design departments and the industry is of vital importance to support and distribute new design drawing techniques, new innovative design ideas and sharing knowledge with students and staff alike. The specific demands in the industry determined the management model for work integrated learning for the Interior Design qualification. Work integrated learning lies between the curriculum of Interior Design and the workplace. It is, therefore, important to develop a thoughtful management model to develop the area in-between the curriculum and the knowledge the students absorb during studying the Interior Design qualification and the real-life, work-based placement in the industry.
