AWARD CONFERMENT
The courses are expected to be validated by Nottingham Trent University (NTU), UK. NTU is one of the
globally renowned fashion education institutions.
The NTU degree is recognised around the world for higher studies and employability.
The learning structure, spread across first, second and third years of the course, is described as Level
1, Level 2 and Level 3 respectively. The three levels attend to the degree learning.
Level 1 concentrates on the basic understanding and skills significant to business management as well as
the chosen discipline.
Level 2 encourages students to engage their learning at higher stage with a scope for electives. The
student has higher exposure to the commercial context and application is encouraged through projects in
the real world. An option to study elsewhere in India or abroad is also provided, at approved institutions
under a student exchange scheme with full credit for merit achieved there, over a duration spanning
8 weeks. Tuition fee is not payable to the overseas institution, but is subsumed within the fee payable to
the Academy. Students only bear travel, boarding, lodging and out-of-pocket expenses. Industry
internship is also mandatory to offer necessary market exposure to students. Industry internship spreads
across 8 weeks.
Level 3 provides students with options to specialize within the domain of the chosen course. It culminates
in dissertation/business project which gives the students the opportunity to project original problem
solving work. The students’ works are presented or exhibited to an industry audience towards the end of
this level in an annual event called PORTFOLIO. The best works are honored publicly and receive special
awards.
The learning structure is designed to afford for students increasing autonomy and responsibility in their

across design contexts in terms of society and environment, design sensibility in terms of the
conceptualization as response to the contest and design methodology and language. Following this,
students pursue the same orientation but within the context of the subject domain of their course. Both
segments of orientation install the necessary foundation for students to imbibe the rest of the discipline,
of which the basics are covered in rest of the first semester.
SEMESTER TWO
In this semester, students advance in their individual disciplines. Time is devoted to provide discipline-
based grounding with the help of subject modules that cover both theory and practice. The students begin

individual projects. Autonomy and responsibility increase commensurately. This semester orients the
students towards the final semester.

mentored process. The students' works are publicly exhibited to an industry audience and the best
works are awarded. At times, the industry-sponsored projects create gateways for students’

This is possible if one understands why people do what they do and provide appropriate solutions to various challenges. Today Communication Design is more human-centric and social, more rooted in technology and science than ever before. Therefore, a Communication Designer is essentially becoming a 'Connectivist,' with basic competence to establish and nurture connections between different disciplines. He/she acts as responsive designer/ entrepreneur/ consultant/ manager rather than a designer. This program helps look at the essence of communication where design can help improve and find meaningful solutions through suitable media. These solutions can take the form of communication products, systems, services, or experiences. It provides opportunity for graduates from varied backgrounds to come together and co- create effective communication solutions globally as well as locally.
