Program Overview
At George Brown College, our focus is on people-centred design, and we believe in nurturing creativity through education. While you don't need a portfolio to join us, a strong enthusiasm and passion for design are essential. We'll handle the teaching—you bring the curiosity!
Interior design listens, empathizes, learns, creates, excites, and educates. Design is everywhere and affects everyone, and it is part of our everyday shared experiences. Interior design involves the integration of concepts and ideas, light fixtures, materials, textures, furniture, and other elements to create innovative interior spaces that are functional and meet all required codes.
In the three-year Interior Design advanced diploma program, you'll develop a thorough understanding of interior design theory, concept application, and technical drawing. Using a conceptual approach, you'll design for retrofits, renovations, and new construction in studios with the most up-to-date equipment and software. For these studio projects, you'll communicate the technical aspects of building interiors by developing plans, elevations, sections, renderings, and 3D models.
As a graduate, your area of specialization might include, but is not limited to:
interior design
interior design technology (2D and 3D computer drawing)
bathroom and kitchen design/build
project management
architectural software (rendering and modelling)
product manufacturer sales
specification writing
Note: If you enrol in the program in January, you must complete semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year in order to continue into semester 3 in the fall.
Computer requirements: We are a PC-based program and currently require you to use: Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Enscape, and Vray. Gaming computers are a good choice to meet the program's requirement, and we recommend a laptop for in-classroom use. For exact specifications, please speak to your first year CAD professor after starting the program.

- Adhere to building and accessibility codes, regulations, standards and practices that protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.
