Foundation Program
The one-year Foundation Programme introduces students to the fundamentals of design and helps develop ways of perception, aesthetic sensitivity, understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of design and relationship of design with human senses and emotions, culture, environment and ecology. Basic design studio courses are augmented by introductory studies in Humanities. This allows the students to develop a world view, understanding of the Indian milieu and the sociocultural context for Design to operate. The varied inputs over two semesters provide the necessary direction, stimuli, facilities, and experience to foster creativity and thereby help everyone discover their own identity and potential.
