IIAD brings Industry to the classroom to create an integrated experience filled with Live projects, Master classes, Learn On-site Internships and exciting career opportunities. This makes you an employable professional with a competitive edge in a fast-moving industry.
IIAD aims to bring professional design practice into the learning environment of a student from an early stage. Learn On-site internships, collaborative & Live projects, and various industry interactions form an integral part of our learning pedagogy. Practitioners from the industry not only conduct master-classes and hands-on workshops but also come on board to mentor students during academic as well as industry projects. These interactions empower our students to expand their networks and connections in the design industry
Step into the real world and focus on learning various aspects of the industry. Two Learn-On-Site internships of 8 and 16 weeks embedded within the course curriculum provide you with a wholesome 24 weeks of industry experience before you graduate. This adds professional experience to your portfolio and ensures that you graduate not just with a degree but also with an impressive resume.
Master Classes by eminent practitioners and leading academicians provide an opportunity for our students to learn from subject experts, acquire varying perspectives as well as keep themselves abreast with the latest developments in the domain.
