Admission Requirements: The academic requirements below are Humber's Ontario baseline; an international applicant meets the equivalent standard for their own country of study through Humber's Academic Equivalency tool and then the same program requirements. Academic: an OSSD or accepted equivalent including Grade 12 English (ENG4U or equivalent) at a minimum of 65 per cent; a Grade 12 mathematics course (MDM4U, MCB4U, MGA4U, MCV4U or MHF4U, or equivalent) at a minimum of 60 per cent - applicants who lack it or score below 60 per cent may still be considered but must take a math equivalency course in their first semester, at extra cost; four further Grade 12 U or M courses; and an overall grade point average of 65 per cent. Mature-student status or college/university transfer status are accepted in place of the secondary-school route. Additional requirement - a portfolio of five pieces, each titled and described in up to 50 words: a freehand two-point perspective line drawing of a chair, submitted with a small photograph of that chair; a freehand perspective line drawing of a kettle, coffee maker or kitchen stand mixer, drawn from the real object rather than from imagination, with a photograph of it; a colour still-life study assessed on shade and shadow, depth, tone and texture, with a photograph of the objects; a three-dimensional piece showing manual construction skill, such as sculpture, furniture, craft work or costume; and one free-choice piece. Tracing is not allowed, and photography and abstract art are not accepted. A two-part writing sample is also required: 200 words on your knowledge of industrial design, naming products, designers and styles you find appealing, and 250 words on the skills, activities and work experience you bring. Submissions go through the Applicant Portal. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident schooled abroad needs a credential assessment first - ICAS course-by-course for a secondary transcript, WES for post-secondary study.
