Ideas That Take Shape into Reality: Explore the Boundless Possibilities of BDes Program at KMCT School of Design
Take a moment to look at the world around you. Within seconds, you’ll spot objects—each designed in its own unique way. Why is something designed in a particular manner? That’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer because design inherently gives an object life, aesthetics, and functionality. It influences our choices, our experiences, and even our emotions. The need for design is vast and ever-growing.
Can you imagine a world where design doesn’t exist? Of course not! Design is an integral part of life. Without it, nothing would be visually appealing, nor would things serve a defined purpose. Then why isn’t design education as widely popular, especially in Kerala?
A closer look reveals that the number of colleges offering a Bachelor of Design (BDes) is limited, particularly in Kerala. The reasons could be many, but one major challenge is the shortage of experts in the field and the lack of access to advanced technology required for a well-rounded design education. At KMCT School of Design, located at Calicut as the only design college in northern Kerala, we bridge this gap by offering world-class design education right here on campus, eliminating the need for design aspirants to travel far to pursue their passion.
What is Bachelor of Design (BDes)?
A Bachelor of Design (BDes) is a four-year undergraduate program that prepares students for careers in the ever-evolving world of design. The course has gained immense popularity recently due to the growing opportunities in the field and the demand for skilled professional designers.
At KMCT School of Design, students can specialize in:
This ensures that students can choose a pathway that best aligns with their creative aspirations and career goals.
“BDes after 12th is the best choice for students who have a creative flair and are interested in drawing, painting, sculpting, and creating. The program equips them to seize the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead by fine-tuning their inborn talents,” says Prof. Hashim Padiyath, Director of KMCT School of Design.
Why KMCT School of Design?
Design education is all about creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning. At KMCT School of Design, we focus on learning by doing, ensuring that every student enjoys the process rather than following conventional rote learning methods.
State-of-the-Art Campus
Located at Manassery, Mukkam, KMCT School of Design is affiliated with APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) and approved by AICTE. What sets us apart is our purpose-built campus, from specialized design labs to fully equipped workshops, everything is designed to inspire creativity at every corner. Even our recreational spaces are thoughtfully curated to keep students engaged and motivated.
Individualized Learning Experience
With a limited intake, we ensure personalized attention for every student. Design is deeply personal, and our approach allows faculty members to nurture each student’s creativity in a way that aligns with their strengths.
Beyond academics, students get hands-on exposure through art exhibitions, live projects, presentations, and juries, preparing them for real-world challenges.
A Team of Expert Faculty
Our faculty comprises expert professionals from the design industry, each bringing valuable expertise to the classroom. The Director of the institute is deeply involved in ensuring that learning remains innovative and beyond conventional teaching methods.
What Makes Us Stand Out?
KMCT School of Design is one of the first and finest design schools in North Kerala. Our approach goes beyond traditional learning, focusing on projects, exhibitions, and industry collaborations to help students build strong portfolios.
“For a design student, the right environment is everything. KMCT School of Design provides the perfect space to experiment and grow,” says Minha, a first-year BDes student from Trivandrum.
“The foundation labs are where ideas take shape. It’s inspiring to see students bring their concepts to life,” adds Jigesh Kumar, our Visual Arts Faculty.
Career Opportunities After BDes
