School of Design (SOD)

Overview

Joy University School of Design (JU-SOD) has aimed at excellence in Industrial Design, Communication Design, Textile, Apparel & Lifestyle Design, IT Integrated (Experiential) Design and Interdisciplinary Design Studies. JU-SOD offers a wide spectrum of design domains while encouraging transdisciplinary design projects in a unique institution with many problem-solving capabilities, depths of intellect and a time-tested creative educational culture in promoting design competencies and setting standards of design education. The rigorous development of the designer’s skills and knowledge through a process of ‘hands on-minds on’ is what makes the difference.

The overall structure of  any JU-SOD program is a combination of theory, skills, design projects and field experiences supported by cutting-edge design studios, skill & innovation labs and the Knowledge Management Centre. Sponsored design projects are brought into the classroom to provide a professional experience. Interdisciplinary design studies in Science and Liberal Arts widen the students’ horizons and increase general awareness of contemporary issues.
