Testimonials
“Entering into Kwantlen's Interior Design program was one of the best decisions I've made. Over the four years, I had a really positive experience with a supportive and committed group of faculty, staff, and students. Having previously attended a much larger university in BC, I appreciated and thrived in the personal, one-on-one learning environment and the smaller class sizes. Because you move throughout the program with the same group of students and faculty, you create close relationships that will carry on in your professional and personal life after graduation.
The program offers students numerous opportunities to be exposed to the design industry though site visits, work experiences, guest speakers, department events and the opportunity to travel to another city and experience interior design in another context. I feel prepared with the knowledge and skills I've learned to enter into the design profession. I think the program at Kwantlen has provided me with a strong foundation of interior design that will allow me to successfully contribute to the industry.”

“As a recent graduate and as a new member of the design community, I feel confident that the Kwantlen Interior Design Program has prepared me for the design world. It has taught me patience, organization, integrity, and a variety of technical skills that I have been using every day since I have started working in an Interior Design firm. I especially enjoyed connecting with the same 20 students throughout the last four years as well, where strong bonds and relationships were made. This program has been an overall positive experience, and although challenging, it has helped me grow and build my confidence as a designer.”
