FIRST-YEAR DESIGN
Students applying to OCAD University are accepted directly into the Faculty of Art or the Faculty of Design. The first-year Art curriculum and the first-year Design curriculum have been integrated into the four years of study.
OCAD U provides a student-centred learning environment for first-year students where a common base of design knowledge, skills and processes are acquired with an emphasis on concept development and investigation, rather than specialization.
First-year is also a time to explore OCAD U’s large community of practicing artists and designers. Contacts made and friendships established will last through the years of study and into the professional world.
The first year of study in the Faculty of Design, combined with each student’s developing creativity, commitment and passion, is a preparation for the advanced work and intense focus of second-, third- and fourth-year. Students benefit from the diversity of talent and wide experience of the faculty.
