OVERVIEW

The design industry is one of the fastest growing industry of 21st Century. Hence the demand for skilled designers has increased in last few decades. Manipal University Jaipur aims to nurture it as one of its core strengths, with the mission to become the most preferred global destination in design education and research for students, researchers, faculty, collaborators, promoters, investors, and developers. The architecture school was set up in 2012 with this intent.  Successively, to cater to escalating demands, Faculty of Design was established in 2014. Over time, the Faculty has grown into two Schools: School of Architecture and Design, and School of Design & Art and many departments.

In line with Manipal Group’s legacy of providing quality education to its students, Faculty of Design is backed by excellent infrastructure (which include well equipped laboratories and workshops, and a dedicated Faculty of Design library); intellectual capital within the Faculty, and within Manipal University Jaipur; institutional partnerships; recognition from professional societies; and high ranking from national accreditation bodies. At present Faculty of Design is offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs, which include B Arch, M Arch (Landscape), B Des (Interior Design), B Des (Fashion Design), BFA (Applied Art). In future, it will offer more diverse programs and pathways based on the Faculty’s strategic direction and market needs.
