    The city of Pretoria has three universities that offer interior design courses.
    The three universities are University of Pretoria, University of Johannesburg and Witwatersrand University - South Africa's leading university. Review the course outlines these schools offer for more information and contact them to find out what type of financial assistance they provide.
    There is also a postgraduate study offered in product design which may be useful if you're interested in designing and decorating for commercial purposes experience as an entrepreneur working on your own terms.

    At the University of Stellenbosch, an undergraduate degree in interior design is offered. This course also includes training in drawing and painting.
    The University of Stellenbosch was founded in 1866 as a small teachers' college (Latin School). It expanded to offer courses for liberal arts and sciences by 1890 but its engineering programmes were established only after WWII. The university's main campus is situated on the banks of the Eerste Rivier (First River) near Rondebosch, one of Cape Town's prime botanical gardens which attracts many visitors annually because it contains about 8500 species of plants from all over the world.

    The part of South Africa that I am most familiar with is Cape Town. There, you will find three highly reputable schools:

    1) Cape Town's School of Creative Arts
    2) UCT's Faculty of Architecture and Design
    3) Stellenbosch University's Department Of Architectural Studies
    Disclaimer- This is not an exhaustive list. Your best bet would be to research more schools before making your choice.

    Co-op Academy of Women's Design. The school has been established in 1989 and it is among the first registered non-profit organizations in South Africa promoting equality for all genders.
    There are two colleges under Co-op Academy of Women's Design: the College of Education, offering accredited university degrees at undergraduate programs; and the College of Arts, Creative Industries and Emerging Skills which offers diploma courses delivered on a modular basis leading to Certificate level qualifications. Both programmes offer short course diplomas as well as professional postgraduate programs including an MBA (Master’s Diploma).
    Moreover, there are extramural tours that take place monthly called Interiors with Heart Tours led by local Interior Designers who share insight into their design.
