New name, same great program!
The Faculty of Design is pleased to announce a new name for a well established program. Effective March 1, 2010, the Interdisciplinary Design Studies (IDDS) program will now be known as Foundations in Design (FIND).
This name more accurately reflects the content of the program which is based on the four cornerstones of exploration, self-diagnosis, transition and fundamental skill development.
Admission for Fall 2010
The application process to the Interdisciplinary Design (IDDS) program for the 2010-2011 academic year opened November 1st, with portfolio reviews scheduled for the last week of April, 2010.
This year we simplified the portfolio review process. Please review the Entrance Requirements section at kwantlen.ca/calendar/2011-12/design/foundationsindesign-cert.html for an overview. Detailed information will be sent to all applicants by Registrar Services.

DESIGNCARES is a travelling exhibition that celebrates the role graphic designers are taking to make a positive impact on the world. The exhibit displays the work of designers who combine their commitment to social responsibility with award winning creativity.
|
The exhibit raises awareness of and/or supports advances in guardianship of natural resources, wildlife and the environment, health and safety of individuals and communities, human rights, humanitarian causes, social and cultural causes. |
