DEPARTMENT of DESIGN

Programs

Our department has the largest Bachelor of Design program between Vancouver and Toronto, with over 55 courses dedicated to design. We also have the only digital/user experience design major in the Prairies.

Our innovative curriculum balances theory and practice and provides students with a human-centered approach to solving design problems using the theories and methods of the social sciences. Students choose from four areas of specialization in the degree or exit with a diploma after successful completion of the first two years of the program.

Your choice: Pathway or major

Choose from six established pathways, create your own pathway or major in Digital Experience Design.

DXD pathways let you focus on one or more design disciplines that interest you. A pathway gives you the flexibility to shape your design education without the formal commitment of a major, and you don’t need to declare a pathway.

If you want a formal specialization, declaring a major in DXD gives you priority enrolment in courses and official recognition on your degree parchment.

 

Designers are increasingly placed in positions of leadership where they must present and guide a broad product vision within an interdisciplinary team.
