What is the connection between architecture and interior designing?
I was told that i could specialize in interior designing after taking architecture. Does this mean that I have to take another 3 year course for interior designing or is there any branch in architecture that specializes in this?

Architecture emcompasses Interior Design. There’s no Architecture program that specializes in Interior Design. A typical Architecture program would cover graphic design, construction science, city planning, architectural engineering, interior design, millions of other things and bring it all together in what they call Architectural Studio.
If you really want to specialize in Interior Design, then you should just take Interior Design. Architecture is a can of worms… It’s a lot of time and money. Once you graduate, you have to intern for 3 years making crap money. You’re mostly a CAD monkey doing other people’s designs because No one is going to trust you to design their multi-million dollar structures until you’ve got years and years of experience. It’s 8-10 years to be an Architect and years of experience afterwards to design.
I feel that Architecture is a 15-year journey to get to some sort of destination. Interior Design, on the other hand, is 4 years and you’re done; you can design and do what you love.
