Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Industrial Design
About
The Industrial Design program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of product aesthetics, functionality, manufacturing, and user experience. Industrial designers develop concepts for products such as automobiles, household appliances, and furniture, integrating art, economics, and engineering. Students will gain skills in manual and digital sketching, model making, and transforming design concepts into reality. Throughout the program, they will also explore key industrial design theories and principles. In later stages, students can specialize in Product Design, Transportation Design, Furniture Design, or Sustainable Design based on their interests.
