Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Design at the University of Regina is a four-year program, with an accelerated two-plus-two post-diploma option available to students who hold an approved design diploma from a recognized Canadian institution. The curriculum covers visual communication and graphic design, physical computing, creative computation, virtual reality and augmented reality design, interactive media and installation, and sound design, with specific course areas spanning creative coding, branding, 3D animation, digital storytelling, game design, and wearable technologies. Instruction combines studio work, lectures, case studies, and experiential projects, delivered through the University of Regina's main campus alongside its federated colleges, Campion College and Luther College. Students have access to facilities including maker spaces, animation classrooms, photography labs, film studios, sound studios, and performance theatres. The program suits students with an interest in design, technology, art, and culture who want an interdisciplinary approach to design education, including diploma holders seeking to complete a degree through the post-diploma pathway. Graduates pursue roles such as designer, animator, game developer, app developer, and creative technologist across web design firms, studios, and creative agencies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Design is diploma-based rather than by high-school average: applicants must hold one of the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Diploma of Graphic Communications, Diploma of Interactive Design and Technology, or Diploma of Engineering Design and Drafting Technology, or the University of Regina's own Diploma in Creative Technologies or Diploma in Computer Science, or an approved Design diploma from another Canadian institution; credentials from elsewhere in Canada are approved case by case. The page does not state a minimum diploma GPA, portfolio review, or program-specific English-proficiency score, and links instead to the university's general Application Guide and undergraduate calendar. International applicants must otherwise meet the university's general undergraduate English-proficiency requirement (for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 83).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
