Program details
Overview
Interior Design Technology (program code 570.E0) is a six-session, three-year technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) offered by Cégep Garneau in Quebec City. The curriculum covers spatial organization and layout, hand sketching and technical drawing, computer-aided design software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit and BIM, 2D and 3D modelling with photorealistic rendering, custom furniture and woodworking specification, colour theory and material selection, lighting design, building systems and codes, and professional practice topics including client consultation, project management and entrepreneurship. Learning is organized around five sequential design projects and a 130-hour internship in the final session, and students can take part in the school's Garneau Travail enterprise, which handles roughly eighty interior design projects a year, as well as international study exchanges in cities such as Paris, Milan and Chicago. The program suits students interested in residential or commercial interior design who plan to enter the profession directly or continue into university design programs such as those at Université de Montréal or UQAM.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must meet Cégep Garneau's general collegial admission conditions: under Quebec's Règlement sur le régime des études collégiales, holding a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) from the youth or adult sector, or equivalent training recognized by the college, with conditional admission possible when at most six DES credits remain outstanding, completed in the applicant's first college semester; Design d'intérieur states no further course prerequisite of its own. No French or English proficiency test score is published. The college expects to admit about 140 students in the fall intake, with a selection based on the school record applied only if eligible applications exceed the places available. Admitted students must also acquire a personal laptop running Windows 10 or 11 for use in several courses, though financial assistance toward this cost is available.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (Service régional d'admission au collégial de Québec) for programmes starting in 2027: the Fall 2027 intake has a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027, with further rounds on 1 May, 1 June and 1 August 2027 filling remaining seats; the Winter 2027 intake closes its first round on 1 November 2026, then 1 December 2026 and 2 January 2027. International applicants outside France apply through SRACQ from 1 September 2026 and must complete their file by 1 February 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, after which no international candidate can be admitted; Winter entry is offered only to French citizens, who may apply until 1 May 2027 for Fall or between 15 May and 15 October 2027 for Winter 2028. Admission is not indefinitely rolling: each round carries a firm cut-off, though later rounds absorb whatever seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
