What it isInterior design teaches you to plan and furnish indoor spaces — homes, offices, shops, restaurants — combining aesthetics, function, and building codes. You'll learn design software, materials, colour theory, and how to work with clients and contractors. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms in design firms, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.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.Visual Studies is the study of how images, film, photography, and design communicate meaning and shape culture. You'll learn theory, history, and hands-on practice across cinematography, photography, fine art, and design. This program suits students who want to understand visual culture deeply and develop creative skills, rather than train narrowly for a specific design or film production role.
