Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or mature-applicant status at 19 or older, plus Grade 12 English at the College or University level or a pass on Centennial's own English Admission Test. The programme page states only that English language proficiency is required, without publishing IELTS, TOEFL or other test scores, so international applicants must consult the college's general language-proficiency page. Admission also requires a mandatory portfolio of 10 to 15 pieces of the applicant's best work, submitted at a program admission session; acceptable pieces include life drawings, sketches, paintings, sculpture or digital artwork, and preference goes to applicants who show traditional life-drawing skill together with familiarity with software such as Photoshop, ZBrush, 3ds Max or Maya.
