Shiv Nadar University (Delhi NCR)
Globally, Design has been accepted as a serious, independent discipline, both in practice and in academia. Shiv Nadar IoE started design in 2014 with a minor program under the Department of Art, Design, and Performing Arts. In 2017, the Department of Design was established with the mission of developing creative minds into outstanding design leaders for the 21st Century. It aspires to become a centre of excellence in design education, research, and practice through a future-looking, human-centred, research-driven, practice-oriented approach.
The Department envisages that if one wishes to be contemporary and relevant in design today and in the future, one has to keep pace with changes in technology. Future design leaders are likely to be creative mind, problem identifiers ans solvers as well as aesthetically perceptive, In other words, a designer will be someone who can responsibly simplify complexity and plan for the future.
Currently, the Department offers a Minor in Design and a 4-year Bachelor of Design (B. Des.) program with an option to pursue a 5-year Integrated B. Des. - M. Des. Degree.
