Whistling Woods International launched the SCHOOL OF DESIGN in 2017.
About School of Design:
One of the newer Schools at Whistling Woods International, the WWI School of Design, complements the other Schools and completes the bouquet of offerings of academic excellence in professional education at the institute. The degree is accredited by the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development, an Institute of National Importance.
The faculty teaching in the Visual Communication Design (VCD) programme at the Whistling Woods International School of Design, are top rung visual design professionals and educators, with a wide array of industry and academic experience nationally and globally. These committed design professionals and educators not only mentor and guide the students to be top notch visual communication designers, but also help them further their career goals by guiding them through professional networks and workspaces. In a manner, they remain mentors for life.
We take pride in the fact that the first few batches of students who have graduated from the programme have been offered jobs even before they graduate – a testimony to the high quality of professional education that the WWI School of Design focuses on, made possible largely by the excellent and committed teaching faculty. The academic and professional credentials of the faculty are impeccable, drawn as they are from alumni of the most prestigious design schools in India and abroad – the NID (Ahmedabad, India,) Sir JJ School (Mumbai, India) and RCA (London, UK,) to name a few.
In the classrooms and workshops, the joy of teaching and learning, and co-discovering, is palpable. A joy that unites us in the pursuit of the cutting edge of visual design excellence.
