The B.Des program at Vidyashilp University combines liberal arts with hands-on design education, helping you build both creativity and critical thinking. The curriculum has a strong focus on visual & media design practices. You’ll learn design thinking alongside media, communication, marketing and digital technologies, skills that matter in an industry where 88% of marketers prefer visual content and the global UX market is set to reach USD 12,500 million by 2027. The globally aligned program meets the four-year Master’s requirement and includes internships after the second and third years for real industry exposure. Through challenge-based learning, interdisciplinary projects, and meaningful learnings from the Vidyashilp University Centre for Art, Design and Innovation (VUCADI), you graduate as a contemporary communication designer.
