Creative Industries. The College also operates Centres for Excellence in relations to the region’s national specialisms – Maritime, Oil and Gas, and Creative Industries.

In its programs, minors and streams, the university has extended the studio to become the studio-laboratory, merging the methodologies of scientific and theoretical investigation with the rigorous practices of art- and design-making. OCAD University has developed liberal arts and science programs and curricula that ground studio learning in both theoretical frameworks and business studies. OCAD University has effectively brought the physical and digital face-to-face. It has also extended the studio beyond the walls of its own campus — through internships, work-study, service-based learning, study-abroad and business-development opportunities in the Imagination Catalyst and a host of co-curricular activities. Design thinking and the experimental approaches of art are fundamental tools needed to resolve the grand challenges of the 21st century. Art and design inspire, produce meaning, provoke engagement and enable inclusion in a complex world. Art and design are central and driving components of all forms of innovation, including domains such as advanced computer applications or health and wellness, which traditionally have been considered exclusive to science, medicine or engineering. Art and design are not merely disciplines or fields of study. They represent an approach — a way of enhancing everyday life based on expanding capacity to imagine, to consider challenges from every angle and to produce tangible results. Art, design and media “enable” technology in modern economies and are largely responsible for the phenomenal success of international companies such as Apple and IKEA or Canadian examples such as Alias/Wavefront and Nienkämper. The need for highly qualified, creative personnel across all sectors will only intensify in the years to come, because the capacity to imagine and innovate is increasingly required in the workplace/economy. In this context, OCAD University becomes increasingly relevant. OCAD University is a flagship institution — a jewel in the Ontario post-secondary education crown. Alumni have won significant awards with recent examples including: xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx won the 2012 RBC Canadian Painting Competition; industrial designer Xxxxx Xxxxx’x Xxxxxx LIFEbike thesis project won the $10,000 Grand Prize in the Up-Start competition in 2012 hosted by MaRS Discovery District; PUSH, an elite stre...

Opportunities for All The College is committed to addressing, together with other partners, the Government’s policy for ‘Opportunities for All’. Its curriculum is primarily focused on learners from the 16-19 year old age group. In AY 2013-14 53.8% of the College’s credits were generated by learners aged 16-19 years old. The College aims to increase this proportion to % by AY 2017-18. The College’s activity relating to learners aged 16-19 years old is already above the national average. In the context of schools aiming to increase the number of pupils who stay on in 5th and 6th year, the College does not anticipate that its activity for this age group can increase much further. The College is committed to developing new partnerships with schools, university partners and employers to deliver a still broader range of vocational opportunities, further enriching the senior phase of Curriculum for Excellence, and building strong partnerships to deliver more STEM employability programmes and Modern Apprenticeships. The College also works with SDS to offer programmes which are specifically targeted at groups identified as hard to reach. In September 2014, North East Scotland College became a partner of the ‘Aberdeen Guarantees’ initiative, which aims to bring together the efforts of the public, private and third sectors to assist and enable young people to progress towards employment. The new partnership seeks to ensure that all 14 to 25-year-olds in Aberdeen City have access to quality opportunities in learning, training and work, an...
