Toronto has Canada’s largest concentration of design businesses and is one of North America’s top four centres for design. This means you will be not only learning design, but also living and breathing it in our brand new, state-of-the-art facilities in downtown Toronto.

Our programs are designed to prepare you for success in your chosen field. We combine academic learning with opportunities to gain hands-on commercial design experience in the city’s design community. Selected students from certain programs work with external clients in the Studio Lab, our in-house design studio. Student work is regularly showcased at the CONTACT photo exhibition and an end-of-year show.

Our programs are set up to allow you to reach your career goals in steps. For example, our one-year Art and Design Foundation program will help prepare you to meet the entrance requirements of our Graphic Design program. For Graphic Design grads who wish to specialize further, we offer postgraduate programs in fields such as game design, advanced digital design and design management.

The School of Design was named one of the top design schools in the world in Business Week (October 2007).

"As a graduate of the Graphic Design program, I can attest to the value of the design education I received at George Brown College. The School of Design is connected to industry and has developed new courses and programs that integrate design and business. The vision for the future is innovative and exciting."

Paul Rowan, Co-founder and VP Design, Umbra
