Design Formation is a two year, multidisciplinary foundational program that prepares students for further specialized studies or entry-level jobs in fields ranging from visual merchandizing to event, graphic, or interior design.
This program is ideal for creative people of all ages and backgrounds, from recent high-school graduates to mature students wishing to update their credentials. The classroom and workshop is close-knit, intimate, and collaborative. Our faculty, who are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the design world at large support this community feeling. We aim to promote a comprehensive understanding of the design process and expose students to various aspects of the field. This allows graduates to explore their own creative path with a broad set of skills and experience. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Applicants are required to have completed BC Grade 12 or equivalent, or be 19 years of age or older. All students applying to the Design Formation Program must have a level of English sufficient to write assignments, understand class lectures, follow design briefs, and take part in class discussions.
