Avani Institute of Design Launches Innovative Five-Year Integrated B.Des + M.Des Dual Degree Program

Kozhikode (Kerala) [India], June 26: Avani Institute of Design has unveiled a new five-year Integrated Bachelor of Design (B.Des) + Master of Design (M.Des) Dual Degree program, set to launch in the 2025–26 academic year. This innovative curriculum allows students to transition seamlessly from undergraduate to postgraduate studies, eliminating the need for separate admissions and offering a more cohesive, time-efficient path to advanced design education.

The program responds to the growing demand for interdisciplinary design thinking, blending theory with practical application across diverse fields. Students will engage in a progressive curriculum that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem-solving from the outset. The integrated approach encourages exploration across visual arts, liberal studies, technology, and cultural contexts—core elements that shape modern design practice.

“Architecture and design do not exist in isolation but are closely integrated with the visual and liberal arts, social and cultural norms, philosophy, and technological advances. This new Integrated B.Des + M.Des program is designed to encourage students to immerse themselves in the process of exploration and hands-on making, while also engaging with real-world contexts through live projects and industry collaborations. Avani’s interdisciplinary curriculum empowers graduates to confidently approach contemporary challenges and become thought leaders in their fields,” said Tony Joseph, Chairman and Principal, Avani Institute of Design.
