Design is a critical aspect of human culture and society and plays a vital role in shaping our world. In today’s rapidly changing environments, design education is becoming increasingly important. Designers are needed to create new products, systems, and solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Institute of Design offers two programmes in design – Product and Interaction Design and Communication Design. The aim is to prepare students for a career in the design industry by providing them knowledge and skills they need to succeed. The learning begins with a common foundation year, after which students proceed towards their chosen programmes from the second year onwards. There is an intense 15 weeks of engagement each semester in studios, classrooms, workshops, and through fieldwork. Industry exposure is a crucial component of design education and thus our programmes are industry-focused, giving many opportunities for engagement and interaction with industry experts.
