Capilano University’s IDEA School of Design was among many design schools in Greater Vancouver at this year’s LAUNCH! Career Development Conference 2018, GDC BC’s annual career development conference for design students, graduates, educators, and employers.

“There was a lot of interest in our program from prospective students, both of high school age and those wishing to transfer from Langara, or make a career change.”
LAUNCH! (formerly POGO), is a two-day GDC/BC initiative aiming to help new and budding designers launch toward a successful design career.
Early Applications for Fall 2019 are now open!
Entry to the Bachelor of Design program at Capilano University is competitive, and applicants must submit a portfolio and other documents through the online portal SlideRoom.
“Please submit no fewer than 15 images of recent work, which may be self-generated or assignments from school or another program. We suggest a minimum of 3 drawings. The remaining submissions can be any combination of photography, painting, design, video, 3D work (e.g. jewellery, sculpture), collage, animation or interactive design (e.g. website, app). The purpose of your portfolio is to demonstrate your creative potential. We assess portfolios on drawing skill, design and creativity.”
