Overview
The Digital Media and Design Diploma is an employment-oriented, multidisciplinary program bridging technical and professional skills for web, UI, and UX design roles. Design and technology coursework builds skills in visual storytelling, digital content development, coding, and the use of generative artificial intelligence tools. The curriculum combines these technical skills with broader professional preparation meant to support further study or work in a changing digital economy.

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Digital Media & Design Diploma requires BC Grade 12 graduation (or equivalent) for domestic applicants, or 19 years of age or older as an alternative; international applicants need BC Grade 12 graduation or its equivalent. No prior coding or design experience is required. English proficiency is assessed under Langara's Category 2 standard: English 12 at 70%, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band under 6.0, Duolingo English Test 110, TOEFL iBT 88 (Writing, Reading, Listening and Speaking each at 20), CAEL 70 with no band under 60, or PTE Academic 56 with no skill below 55. The diploma has limited enrolment, and admission to a program at Langara does not guarantee registration in required courses; students admitted may need additional English coursework to satisfy prerequisites for required program English classes.
