  7. Hi,
    I have a bachelor degree in Architecture engineering and a master degree in Interior Architecture from Tehran University (Iran). Moreover, I have 3 years of professional working experience in my home country as an architect and interior designer. I am really excited to continue my education at BCIT in Canada. Which programme do you recommend me to apply? Am I eligible to apply directly to the Bachelor of interior design?

    • Hi Ali, BCIT offers a four-year, accredited Bachelor of Interior Design, with both full-time and part-time study options. The first year of study is designed as a foundation year (Certificate). Students who complete the 2nd year of the program will obtain a Diploma. Students will receive a Bachelor Degree after completion of the four-year program.
