Through extensive research and collaboration with prominent international design institutions, Lovely Professional University (LPU) has launched the B.Design Global Design Programme, with the aim of revolutionizing design education in India. This innovative initiative offers a unique learning experience, exposing students to diverse perspectives and design challenges across vibrant design hubs worldwide, employing a multi-city/multi-country learning approach. LPU's primary objective is to nurture students into design thought leaders and creative catalysts who can make meaningful contributions to society, the environment, the economy, and culture. Eligibility for the program requires candidates to have obtained a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English) or equivalent, and they must qualify in LPUNEST, CUET, UCEED, Under Graduate NID DAT (Prelims), or Graduate NIFT or NIFT B.FTech exams. Notable features of the program include three International Immersion Programs, where students engage in foreign trips to the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia, each lasting four weeks at no additional cost. The program also emphasizes experience-based learning with a multicultural focus, involving international mentors, live projects, and specialized knowledge to tackle real-world challenges and explore regional design cultures, commercial interests, and societal issues. Additionally, students have the opportunity to interact with creative specialists from various continents, gaining insights into diverse areas such as the Middle Eastern luxury lifestyle and retail market, European craftsmanship and high fashion, and the fusion of culture and technology in Southeast Asia. The program prepares graduates for diverse career paths, including global design consultants, international brand managers, product designers, creative directors, cultural researchers, and entrepreneurs, among others. It offers project-driven academic experiences guided by industry professionals, along with live industry projects, industry visits, masterclasses, cultural immersion, and global exposure. Graduates of LPU's fashion design program have achieved notable success, securing prestigious positions with companies such as Iconic Infinite Fashion, Lacoste, Reliance Retail, Hidesign, and H&M. The program's effectiveness in preparing students for the industry is evident from the highest salary offered to fashion design students at LPU, an impressive 18 LPA, with an average salary of 10.38 LPA.
