BACHELOR of DESIGN

STUDENT WORK

An infographic to improve Edmonton Transit’s rider safety, an award-winning short film, an app to help students with mental health challenges, album covers for MacEwan’s in-house record label—study here and take part in hands-on, real-world design projects that attract future employers and help make the world a better place.

Through capstone projects, field placements, internships and community-engaged learning, you gain skills and experience that give you an edge after graduation. Our learn-by-doing philosophy means you leave the program ready for the workplace.

Stellar designs

At MacEwan University, you learn that good design is beautiful, inspirational, motivational, useful and practical. It considers the ways people interact with a product—how it makes them think, feel and behave.

I never thought I’d get to help make a biology-based tower defence game (Life on the Edge) but I got the chance during a summer internship. I learned a lot from that experience!
