Honours Bachelor of Interior Design at Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada is a honours degree in Interior Design programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered in a hybrid format. Tuition for international students is CAD 24,887 per year (CAD 9,601 per year for local students).
The Honours Bachelor of Interior Design is a four-year honours baccalaureate degree offered at Sheridan College's Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga, recognized by the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario and accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. The curriculum covers 2D and 3D design software such as AutoCAD, SketchUp and Revit, project management, sustainability and socially responsible design practices, building systems and construction knowledge, including the Ontario Building Code. Studios are designed to resemble professional interior design workspaces rather than conventional classrooms, and the program follows a mobile-computing model giving students continuous access to course materials and software. Students complete a mandatory 14-week work placement (May-August) between years three and four, working alongside practising interior design professionals through Sheridan's Co-operative Education Office. The CIDA-accredited degree meets the educational requirement for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification Examination, and prepares graduates for entry-level practice, further study, or membership in professional interior design organizations. It suits students seeking a construction- and code-literate, technically grounded interior design education with substantial placement experience built into the degree.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
