British Columbia Institute of Technology, Burnaby, British Columbia

BCITs Bachelor of Interior Design graduates will be able to apply for jobs in Interior Design and
Architectural firms across Canada, the USA and abroad. They will also have a direct path to becoming a
professional Registered Interior Designer in Canada and are eligible to write the NCIDQ 1exam upon
completion of the required work experience. The aim of the Bachelor of Interior Design is to develop
graduates who can combine research and critical thinking and generate creative solutions that support
human behaviour within the interior environment. Students will work on studio projects that focus on
complex and multi-use designs that will provide solutions for public spaces such as community centres

and hospital environments. They will learn about research approaches and integrate concepts into their
design solutions such as cultural histories, socio- economics, human behaviour, sustainability and global
citizenship. They will expand their knowledge of related fields by learning from building trades
specialists in electrical, carpentry, plumbing and HVAC. The program includes a field study component
where students will explore a location of interest through on-site lectures, seminars and guided visits for
8-9 days as part of the program. In addition, students will take business and communications courses to
develop skills in leadership, marketing and professional written and oral communication. Students will
also choose several general study courses that are of interest to them to complete their Bachelor
Degree.

3.Interior Design (Bachelor of) (Co-op)

Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, Kitchener, Ontario

This unique co-op program focuses on architecture and interior design and relies heavily upon projectbased learning. This Bachelor of Interior Design degree provides professional training in design
development and the presentation of interior spaces (residential, commercial, retail, institutional,
health, entertainment, exposition). The relationship between occupants and their physical environment
will be analyzed by taking into consideration the space dimensions, composition, furnishings,
illumination, texture, acoustics, finishes, colour and other aspects that address functional requirements,
comfort and aesthetics. In other words, interior design takes the shell of any building as a point of
departure and works on the interior planning, construction and finishing, -- the whole range of
components that allow the space to be safely and comfortably inhabited. Conestoga's Interior Design
degree is unique! This program is more technical in nature than most interior design programs. Why is
that important? Industry professionals have told us that graduates who have this technical competency
are very attractive to employers and will need less on-the-job training. Interior design has evolved and is
as much science as it is art. Designing and creating sustainable buildings; managing interior design
projects; working in a team of professionals that includes architects, engineers and contractors: all of
these require the solid technical education that is provided in Conestoga's Bachelor of Interior Design
degree program. Graduates are prepared for the realities of working with new and emerging
technologies and for a great career in interior design!
