Method of Instruction
Design is an intuition, an outcome of a subconscious thought that leads us to a deeper sense of knowing and offering four major streamlines as Communication Design, Product Design, Fashion Communication and Fashion Design in the form of four years Graduate Degree comprising of 8 Semesters.
