Ph.D in Design

The Ph.D in Design is offered through the UID-School of Design. Its structure is planned to give students a broad, industry-relevant education across design disciplines. Students begin with foundation courses that establish essential skills and then move into core design courses suited to their chosen discipline. They can select electives and specialisations to tailor the programme, and they take part in industry projects and internships that build real-world experience and portfolios. The programme ends with capstone projects where students show creativity and problem-solving ability. The school describes its faculty as drawn from leading design institutes and notes that its degrees are UGC approved. Students are supported with workshops and visits that connect research ideas to real design practice. Prospective applicants can find further details on the programme page of the university website before they apply.
