Program overview
A four year honours degree in furniture, covering woodworking and joinery, materials and finishes, structural design, computer aided design and a graduating portfolio of built work.
At CAD 19,526 furniture is dearer than glass or ceramics, reflecting the timber, machinery and workshop time the discipline consumes.
Bachelor of Craft and Design (Honours) - Furniture is taught at Sheridan College Trafalgar campus in Oakville, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the craft and design furniture degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Sheridan records the craft and design furniture degree under CIP . That exemption lets the craft and design furniture degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the craft and design furniture degree can support a study permit application.
