The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Design is a one-year, 30-credit program at NSCAD University's Fountain Campus, taken across the fall and winter semesters. It provides an introduction to interdisciplinary design as a generalist credential rather than specializing in a single design area, combining studio credits with liberal arts and science courses. The program is aimed particularly at applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree, including international students, and its learning outcomes cover contemporary design practice, the roles and responsibilities of designers, expectations of Canadian university study, and cultural and language adjustment. Applicants apply through SlideRoom with official transcripts, a statement of intent, and a portfolio of digital images. Delivery is on-campus. Graduates leave with foundational design skills and a broadened design perspective suited to further study or entry-level design work.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a completed undergraduate degree and apply through NSCAD's SlideRoom portal with official transcripts, a statement of intent of no more than 500 words, and a portfolio of no more than 20 digital images. A $75 USD application fee applies. Applicants for whom English is a second language must submit the results of an approved English language test.
