What it is	Interior 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.	You study design across multiple disciplines, blending computer science, visual and product design, and hands-on problem-solving. Unlike a single-discipline design program, this approach lets you explore how technology, creativity, and practical application intersect in real projects. It suits people who want to design solutions but aren't sure whether they lean toward coding, visual work, or engineering, and who learn best by doing.	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.
