Academic Electives
Academic electives are built around the progression of the course and encourage learning across disciplines. Students learn a lot about design disciplines when they study a subject like global affairs, intellectual property rights, and design ethics. This makes it easier for them to relate to and interact with people on a broader level. Because of this, students can talk to their peers from other academic fields and share ideas. They will offer a perspective based on their individual and group experience. These aspects are very important for the growth of future design leaders on the basis of their self confidence, maturity & diversity to deal with the ever-changing global issues in their professions.
