At Cegep regional de Lanaudiere in Québec, Canada, Diploma in Techniques de design d'intérieur is offered as a diploma in Interior Design programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,610 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Techniques de design d'intérieur (570.E0) is a three-year technical DEC offered at the Cégep de Lanaudière's L'Assomption campus, with fall admission and a DEC-BAC pathway. The program combines artistic and technical training in the study of the elements, principles and techniques of interior space design, centred on creating, developing and communicating interior design projects. Students learn to draft layout plans, draw on diverse cultural and artistic references for their projects, conceptualize and plan projects that respond to client needs with a sustainable and responsible outlook, select materials, colours, furniture and accessories, and produce a full set of working drawings, using AutoCAD and Revit software in dedicated computer labs. The program includes museum, trade-show and showroom visits, project-based learning with consultation workshops, and a four-week internship near the end of studies, and the page notes a possible DEC-BAC pathway with the Université de Montréal toward a university degree in interior design. It suits students who are creative, detail-oriented and observant, with an interest in design trends, aesthetics and computer-based work, and who are aiming for a career or further studies in interior design.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states only that admission follows the general admission conditions of Cégep régional de Lanaudière, without listing further programme-specific prerequisites. Under those conditions, domestic applicants need a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) plus three specific courses — langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, langue seconde de 5e secondaire and mathématiques de 4e secondaire — or, for applicants who have interrupted full-time study for at least 24 consecutive months, training and experience the college judges sufficient. Applications go only through admission.sram.qc.ca, for a non-refundable CAD 30 fee; for Fall 2026 the college lists three rounds, the first-round deadline falling on 1 March 2026. International applicants use the same SRAM portal, and must submit a French-language test accepted by SRAM (waived only for applicants from France) before an admission letter, CAQ and study permit can follow.
