Design Formation at Langara College

Curious about a
creative career?

Design Formation is a multidisciplinary design department at Langara College, offering two dynamic diploma programs: Design Formation and Digital Media & Design. Our programs blend creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning to prepare students for careers in creative industries.

We foster a collaborative environment where students explore design across disciplines and develop a strong foundation for professional practice or further study.

What kind of designer will you be?

Design for Physical Spaces

If you love to create and either don’t know which industry to go into or simply don’t want to choose, Design Formation was made for you. Our students complete hands-on projects and studio courses that allow them to explore and develop their creative talents, knowledge, and skills in a variety of 2D and 3D specializations such as graphic and visual design, interior design, and architectural design.

Our graduates leave with a diploma, a professional design portfolio, work experience, and the confidence to begin their creative careers or continue their educations with one of our growing number of transfer partner institutions.

Design for Digital Experiences

Our newest Diploma program, launching January 2026, combines UX/UI design and front-end development.

The Diploma in Digital Media and Design curriculum allows students to learn design and technical subjects to provide graduates with a well-rounded, future-proof education.

Design and development are generally treated as separate areas of study and expertise, but ultimately go hand-in-hand when creating eye-catching, functional digital products. By combining the two professions into one Diploma, students graduate with the foundational knowledge and experience needed to be a valuable asset to any digital product team, or continue their education at one of our growing list of partner institutions.
