Program Description:
The spaces we live in and work affect us deeply. They influence our moods and can create harmony if designed properly. With Fanshawe's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program, you'll have the opportunity to leave an enduring mark on not only the spaces you create, but the people who inhabit them.
To prepare you for this creative and in-demand career, you'll learn about commercial and residential design. You'll examine the main aspects of interior design such as problem analysis, concept development, design communication, lighting, drawings and specifications, and cutting-edge design technology. That's not all, because communicating and sharing your ideas with future clients is a crucial part of interior design, you'll study verbal and visual presentation methods. You'll test your ideas in a nurturing environment, work-shopping what creations work, and which don't. As well, you'll complete one term in a co-operative setting, experiencing first-hand the challenges and rewards of interior design.
At the heart of the Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program is an emphasis on creating environmentally sustainable projects. As well, if you're excited to help create spaces that nurture the physical, social and psychological needs of a changing society, this program is for you.
