The next semester reinforces advanced research methods and augments design focus through introduction of specialised electives in a collaborative approach. Students choose from design electives cutting across disciplines such as Space & Interactive Design, Craft Studies, Costume Studies, Fashion Innovation, Interface Design, Ergonomics, Design for Special Needs and Functional Textiles.
