George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
At the School of Design, you’ll turn ideas into reality—sketching garments and jewellery, shaping digital experiences, and building brands that stand out. Programs are studio-based and hands-on, supported by a modern digital environment, industry-proven faculty, and work-integrated learning that helps you build a portfolio and a network while you study. Students regularly enter design competitions and earn prestigious awards locally, nationally, and internationally, and you can broaden your perspective through study-abroad partnerships in places like Copenhagen and Italy.
