Program overview

A four year honours degree in spatial and environmental design, covering exhibition and retail environments, wayfinding systems, digital interaction embedded in physical space, fabrication technique and a professional design portfolio.

Sheridan records this under an environmental design code, and experiential design is an unusual specialism for a Canadian institution to offer at degree level, which limits direct competition for graduates entering the market. As a degree it is exempt from the field of study rule whatever that code says.

Bachelor of Experiential Design (Honours) is taught at Sheridan College Trafalgar campus in Oakville, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the experiential design degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Sheridan records the experiential design degree under CIP 04.0401. That exemption lets the experiential design degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the experiential design degree can support a study permit application.

  • English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 21 in every section; PTE Academic 60 with no component below 57; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.

  • Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
