Yes, you can apply for a Master's in Design with a BBA background, even if your degree is not in interior design.

Many design programs in the UK and Italy accept applicants from diverse academic fields. Your 24 months of work experience and transferable skills can strengthen your application. However, most programs will require a strong design portfolio, and some may ask for foundational courses in design if you haven't studied them before.

Admission requirements vary by university and program, so it's important to review specific criteria for each option.
