Most Diploma programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means design thinking, drawing, materials and digital tools, built around a portfolio of studio projects. Typical first jobs: designer roles in product, fashion, communication or UX.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Guru Kashi University for the current semester-wise plan.
