Bachelor of Design

This Bachelor of Design program lets students focus on Industrial Design, Visual Communication Design, or both areas together, building project management, attention to detail, and creative thinking skills. The program is described as specialized and competitive, with full degree requirements set out in the University of Alberta Calendar edition matching each student's year of admission. It is intended to prepare students for design careers, whether starting an independent design practice, working within a larger design firm, continuing into an architecture degree, or pursuing other design-related paths. Career examples include graphic and visual communications designer, UX/UI designer, illustrator, animation modeler, industrial designer, exhibition designer, and arts or cultural manager. It suits students who want a design-focused undergraduate degree with the option to concentrate on product design, visual communication, or a combination of the two.
