Program overview
The Advanced College Diploma - Graphic Design at Centennial College's Story Arts Centre campus in Toronto is a advanced college diploma that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.
You will train as a professional graphic designer — typography, branding, editorial, packaging, digital and UI design — building a strong portfolio through studio projects and industry briefs. Graduates work as graphic, brand and digital designers in studios, agencies and in-house teams across Canada's largest design market.
Delivered at Centennial College's Story Arts Centre campus in Toronto. Note that this field is not among the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so the program may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list and with IRCC before applying.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as Graphic Designer, Brand/Visual Designer and Digital/UI Designer, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.
Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
