Programme overview

Over a course of five years, a student will become aware of themselves and their values. They will understand what they consider important and care about in the world and how to let this drive their design education. The journey is based on the learning manifesto of each student and the itinerary chalked out to achieve it and hence the journey undertaken by every villager at TDV is unique, and bespoke and it does not have to cease at the end of four years. Although the journey is individual, the villager is not alone. There is a support system of relevant people, to assist the villagers at every junction. Each villager charters their own personal learning path.

Here, you’ll learn new processes and establish versatile skills for mastering the technologies of the future—technologies that will go on sale next year, that will be in development in the next decade, and that are still just whispers in the minds of up-and-coming creatives. The interactive design degree equips you with core methods and tools to lead design teams and impact user experiences throughout your career.

This path is custom made for them with a great mix and match of experiences, projects and tools through three streams of interrelated activities:

  • Villaging - ‘Villaging’ activities for personal development, with the goal to build the TDV community and oneself. It constitutes minimum 25% to maximum 35% of overall time at TDV. The international exchange program, which is a part of villaging activities, lasts for a duration of six months i.e. one complete semester and is mandatory for all students. The duration of villaging activities can range from continuing ongoing activities, weeks to weekends, single day activities or just a couple of hours. These activities are therefore encouraged, to be undertaken during one’s own personal time
  • Baskets - Baskets that contain clusters of courses characterized by a common theme, discipline or learning objective. It constitutes minimum 35% to maximum 45% of overall time at TDV.
  • Taskbox - Design projects to be retrieved from the ‘task box’, where everything is based on reality. It constitutes minimum 30% to maximum 40% of overall time at TDV.

PLACE IN THE WORLD & POSITION OF THE SELF
The Integrated Master’s is designed to create a positioning specific journey which helps a student articulate their place in the world. Looking at Place & Position as the dialectic of practice— Place being external to where I fit or what I can, while position being internal to who I am. The overall journey helps one answer the question: “What kind of designer am I?”

THE ECOSYSTEM
The eco-system comprises Studio Archohm and The Design Village Institute, their respective networks and associations. The physical proximity of the learning environments is leveraged and emphasized.
