NMIMS Deemed to be University has added to its impressive multidisciplinary lineage of imparting outstanding learning experiences, the School of Design. The nucleus of the School is to impart future-scoped Design education to prime the student to be a design professional in the emerging scenarios.

NMIMS School of Design is a definitive pathway for those students who harbour a creative and an artistic bent of mind while also being enthusiastic about technology. For today, the role of a designer is varied it combines design with technology and cognitive and behavioural sciences to serve business and social needs. It entails designing communications to designing businesses. Responding to the fact that Design is much more than mere visual appeal now; but a strategy, a solution that builds business value, the school relays a trans-disciplinary approach wherein design is crafted based on user centricity, scientific inferences and expected business outcome which is enabled or opportune digitally.

Our AICTE approved, 4-year undergraduate program, B. Des. in Humanising Technology, resolves the problem faced by young students to make a choice between their interest in art, science and technology by offering a seamless amalgam of the these streams. The program brings new focus on this aspect of multidisciplinarity the byword in the field of design. It enables crafting product/service experiences that are delighting wherein the technology is consumable and unseen, thus humanised.

• To nurture students in an immersive, holistic, multi-disciplinary learning engagements
• To prepare students to be innovative professionals who will create value by humanising technology in emergent scenarios.

Dear Students and Parents,

Congratulations, and a very warm welcome to the NMIMS School of Design!

In a world that’s changing faster than ever, the boundaries between design, technology, animation, and business are becoming increasingly fluid. Our programs are thoughtfully crafted to reflect this shift—designed not just to keep pace with change, but to lead it with empathy and purpose.

What sets our B. Des and B.Sc. courses apart is their integrated approach. Students don’t just learn design or technology in isolation; they explore how these disciplines work together to create solutions that are innovative and deeply rooted in human needs. With the addition of Animation & VFX, we further expand the creative toolbox available to our students, helping them tell stories and build experiences that resonate on emotional and visual levels.

At NMIMS, we take pride in offering a multidisciplinary and industry-aligned education through our two flagship programs—B.Des in Humanising Technology and B.Sc in Animation & VFX. These programs are designed to help you approach design holistically, blending technological proficiency with empathy, creativity, and strategic thinking. With a curriculum that integrates design, emerging tech, business acumen, and social insight, you’ll gain the tools to navigate complexity and create meaningful impact.

As you step into our vibrant ecosystem, you will be mentored by passionate faculty, work on live projects, collaborate with peers across disciplines, and explore your ideas in spaces like the Combined Workshop, Usability Lab and the Tinkering Studio. This is your time to ask bold questions, experiment fearlessly, and immerse yourself in real-world challenges. I encourage you to make the most of every opportunity—this is not just the beginning of your academic life, but the Launchpad for a lifelong journey in design, innovation, and human-centered thinking.

Welcome aboard—and here’s to an exciting, creative, and impactful four years ahead!
