Course 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.
