Program Description Humber’s Bachelor of Interior Design degree program balances creativity with sensitive, pragmatic design thinking. Our graduates problem-solve, investigate and explore design environments where people thrive. Engaging interior design studios enable you to master an evidence-based design process, develop effective presentation abilities and acquire vital professional practice skills. Team collaboration among student groups mirrors industry team practices. Observational field trips provide opportunities for you to connect classroom theory, such as the perception of space and human interaction, with built environments. In the fourth-year courses, you will interact with industry mentors to research, develop and document a large scale project from initial concept to construction documentation. Additionally, a self-directed volunteer project helps connect your passion for design to the community and the design industry. Students have worked with organizations such as the Furniture Bank, Toronto District School Board, youth and women’s shelters, and Habitat for Humanity.
You will apply your hands-on, job-ready skills with a 420-hour paid work placement between Semesters 6 and 7. Career management workshops help you to develop effective job search skills. You will find your own work placement with the support of work placement consultants and faculty. The school works with business and industry contacts to help identify employment opportunities.
The spaces where people live, work and socialize have a significant impact on quality of life and productivity. As a graduate of our program, you will play a key role in shaping interesting, functional and esthetically pleasing interiors while integrating diverse cultural needs, accessibility and environmental responsibility.
