| What it is | This program combines studio art, architectural design, and materials science to explore how buildings and spaces are created and experienced. You'll study drawing, design principles, and the physical properties of construction materials alongside art history and theory. It suits students who want to work creatively with built environments — whether designing buildings, creating installations, or working in architectural practice — rather than pursuing fine art or architecture alone. | You study how to design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, streetscapes — combining art, ecology, and practical building knowledge. Unlike general design programs, landscape architecture focuses specifically on outdoor environments and includes technical skills in grading, drainage, and site planning. It suits people who want to solve real problems through design and enjoy working both creatively and analytically with land and plants. | Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies. | Creative Technologies is a visual arts and design degree that combines fine art, graphic design, and digital media with entrepreneurship skills so you can develop creative work and understand how to turn ideas into projects or businesses. Unlike a straight fine arts program, it emphasizes the practical and business side of creative work. It suits people who want to make art or design but also care about how creative work reaches audiences and generates opportunity. |
