A Pioneering Approach to
Studying Design
Studying Design
Pairing courses
Students enrolled in our cross-disciplinary degree combine two design disciplines, which prepares them for the ever-changing job market. As part of their studies at DIDI, students take a selection of studios, workshops, and lectures.
The first-year experience consists of the basics of the four disciplines we offer so that students understand their options. Under the academic advisor's guidance, students select the cross-disciplinary path that best suits their strengths, interests, and aspirations.
Students present an independent capstone project within their cross-disciplinary course at the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation during the last year of study.
Product Design
Students learn to design products, systems, and services as agents of social change, critically analyzing their social, cultural, and technical applications and implications.
Multimedia
Design
Students learn to develop new frameworks for ethical human-machine interactions and multisensory interfaces to create mixed-reality environments that widen human perception, intelligence, and experiences.
Fashion Design
Students learn to conceptualize and materialize artifacts for the body, rethinking the fashion industry using new technologies to achieve innovative, sustainable, and responsible design solutions.
Strategic Design
Management
Students apply design principles, tools, and methods as catalysts for systemic and organizational transformation by shaping strategic decision-making and branding, promoting design-driven entrepreneurship, and responsible innovation.
