Department Of Design, Iit Hyderabad

The Department of Design offers a vibrant environment for learning, practicing, research, and exploring several facets of design. The department envisions to creatively engage in the space between technologies and people. This involves facilitating innovation in the key emergent areas such as Participatory & Collaborative Design, Communication & Interaction Design, Professional Ethics & Sustainability, Product Systems & Services, Design & Education, Wellness, Crowd-Sourced Design, etc. “Design” calls for thinking “from-the-scratch,” thinking “Out-of-the-box” and thinking in line with the needs of contemporary society and devising creative solutions. “Design” is essentially aimed at enhancing the user experience. Improvement of any process/ service/ equipment by incorporation of ingenious means is what defines “Good Design.” The Department of Design is committed to the growth of design education. To fulfill this vision, a joint Ph.D. Program with Swinburne University, Australia, and a Design Minor program has been initiated.
