The B.Design (Hons.) Mobility Design programme at UID provides a creative and contemplative learning space for students to learn to resolve prevailing or future challenges around mobility. The programme trains students to create futuristic, eco-friendly transportation systems. Students gain the information and abilities necessary to produce captivating designs for a variety of vehicles, including cars, boats, and airplanes, through a combination of theoretical and practical. The four-year program focuses on skills specific to automotive at a very early stage like automotive sketching, learning styling cues, surface modelling, and clay modelling, thereafter the design process follows, in the context of automotive design, includes abstracting, applying aesthetic values to conceptualizing visually appealing forms, combined with exposure to potent strands of user-centric and utilitarian approaches. The constant exposure to industry trends, and practices in the classroom teaching model, are very hands-on, thus equilibrating the aspects of excitement and passion, as part of the learning experience.

The Mobility Design course will provide the students to pursue exciting careers such as Car Designer (Exterior), Car Designer (Interior), Two Wheeler Designer, Commercial Vehicle Designer, Digital Modeler, and CMF Designer. The programme aims to prepare the students to be future leaders – forming a new generation of designers who have both the skill set and mindset to operate as strategic leaders with a broad range of abilities and insight about their own ‘point-of-impact’ on an increasingly diverse industry. The programme combines theoretical and creative workshops. The majority of graduates of the programme will work in the design departments of vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
The learning model at UID is incubated to create and adapt to an appropriate environment of learning that facilitates our students with new experiences. We make sure our learning model engages the learner into new dimensions of work. This model provides an environment for interactive student engagement and enhances the system thinking ability.
At UID, we believe that the experiential knowledge gained while developing and implementing this unique learning model is transferable to other disciplines as well.
Yes, you are eligible for B.Des (Hons.) Mobility Design, irrespective of your discipline. All you need is a curious mind!
Your portfolio should reflect your aesthetic and highlight your skills in 2D/3D product and automotive sketching, 3D models, the design process, and your ability to work hands-on. You may also include your extracurricular skills like photography, model making, presentation skills, etc. It is advisable to keep your portfolio concise & crisp.
Basic drawing skills are important for enrolling in an automotive design course. It is a good idea to practise drawing regularly as it helps you to present your design ideas. Start exploring and enjoying different mediums of drawing. Product-specific drawings, digital renders, and illustration techniques will be a part of your modules at UID.
Knowledge of materials and model-making is not required for admission, however, individuals should have basic knowledge of materials. Model-making skills and processes will be touched upon during the modules taught.
The Mobility design programme at UID offers a well-balanced, hands-on and industry-focused curriculum of theory and practical courses, taught over 4 years in an Undergraduate programme. The details of semester-wise subjects/courses are shared on the website in the department section. The B. Des. (Hons.) Mobility Design programmes include subjects covering Design and Technology, User Experience Design, Internet of Everything, Packaging design, Universal Design, Product Detailing, Surface Modelling and Rendering, entrepreneurship and research methodology. Students get the opportunity to study an International language as well as opt from a bouquet of Interdisciplinary electives. Internship & Graduation projects are offered to gain an understanding of the workings of the product industry.
Study trips are organized for students to sensitize them to the cultural influences that might affect the design of products. The trips may include visits to heritage places, Industry visits, design studios, industrial production units, etc. for an immersive experience as per the requirement of the courses. The trips may vary from local visits to outstation travels for a couple of days. Faculty members also accompany the students on the study trips.
Our students have pursued their internships with multinationals like Bajaj Auto, JCB India, Royal Enfield and design studios like Studio 34, Studio Clockworks, Vazirani Automotive, Desmania etc.
The students upon completion of their degree choose one of the following,
