OCAD University is Canada’s largest art, design, and media university, and boasts some of the best photography facilities in Canada, including one of the few schools with both color and black-and-white darkrooms. Unlike some photography programs that focus solely on commercial photography, OCAD U’s Photography program emphasizes artistic and experimental approaches.
This program encourages students to develop their artistic vision while exploring a wide range of issues and styles. In the upper-year levels, students will gain real-world experience through placements in the arts community or by exhibiting their photographs, further enhancing their skills and professional network.
In the fourth year, students can choose between the Thesis and Directed Studio options. The Thesis option involves collaborating with a thesis panel to research, produce, and present a body of work that meets professional exhibition standards. Alternatively, the Directed Studio option focuses on working on several projects, allowing students to refine their technical skills and deepen their conceptual understanding.

The GD program is solid. After 3rd year you'll be more challenged and start to understand the industry -- at least that's when it all started to click for me. Profs are a mix of industry people who know what they're doing and academics. Be prepared to ...
The instructors in industrial design, from CNC to woodworking, are not adequatley trained. Former students get hired as lead technicians who can't service machines and this is what you get. I would have chosen Humber or Centennial if I could go back.
