I am taking the first step in my journey to make a name for myself in the designing world. It is in Saintgits Design School and I’m extremely glad about it.
Enrolling in the B Des. course at SDS was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. The campus is equipped with state-of -art-facilities, providing a conductive space for exploration and experimentation. The faculty members are not only experts in their field but also incredibly supportive mentors. I whole-heartedly would recommend this course to any aspiring designer seeking a transformative and enriching education experience
“Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye!” SDS is one of the best institutes to direct our mind to achieve our designing goals. Being a student, I wrapped a real life experience around the assignments, and it is a tremendous learning experience!
I love the way our faculty mentor us, they ask us to redo works till we have reached our maximum potential. Yes, there is much to do, but my learnings are much more.
After twelve years of rote learning in schools where you are expected to conform, this is a welcome change. I can do what I always wanted to do: to create new things.
SDS opened up a new world of design to me, exposing me to many new disciplines which I never knew that they existed. My career goals have changed forever.
Studying at SDS has been a transformative experience, I am proud to be a part of a school that places design at its core.
I thought I would have to go to metro cities to learn design as it should be. I am glad we have that opportunity closer home, taught by equally good faculty.
SDS provides us with a supportive and inclusive learning environment and also a nurturing atmosphere where we are encouraged to express our ideas and perspectives freely and give life to our creative ideas.
There are no written exams here, no text books to study and nothing to memorise. I learn topics
through practical assignments. This is true learning and I am enjoying it.
SDS has been a complete different experience. I am glad SDS will be able to enrich my perspective of my future. The change is fascinating.
The variety of topics and the multimedia teaching methodology is fascinating. I am learning all that I had dreamed of learning. The workload is heavy, but it is fun too.
I am happy that the foundation for my career in design is shaped by some of the finest teachers. Much of the attention is given to expose the talents of each student. I’m happy that I chose SDS over other institutions.
