Introduction of New Curriculum

The Faculty of Design has just undertaken an extensive curriculum review and has developed the curriculum in a number of key ways. Our ‘Design and Humanity’ philosophy is imbedded in three new issues based courses entitled ‘Think Tank/Creative Intersections’, ‘Think Tank/Convergence’ and ‘Think Tank/Realization’ and are open to Design students from all disciplines. These studio seminar courses include research, discussion, strategy development and/or material solutions.

At the third-year and fourth-year levels, a number of additional areas of study, referred to as expansion studios, will be offered as secondary studios. Students may elect to do one introductory course in four areas (over their third- and fourth-years), or they may use all four slots to take courses in one area for more focused study. In addition to the studios listed, students may opt to take a second-year core studio in another discipline as their expansion studio (approval required). This is also an area where students can choose to take courses in the Faculty of Art (approval required through the Faculty offices).
 
As these expansion studios are interdisciplinary in nature, students from a number of (appropriate) disciplines will have access to them, again providing multi-disciplinary experience and broadening their understanding of other disciplines and at the same time deepening their understanding of their own. These expansion studios allow our students to take multiple pathways through the curriculum to complete their programs.
